Laugh A Minute made the breakthrough at Stakes level at Cork today as the Ado McGuinness' gelding caused a 16/1 upset to win the Sean Barrett Bloodstock Sales Listed Race.
The six year old son of Mayson had previously finished second twice at Group 3 level for previous trainer Roger Varian and having been bought by current owners Shamrock Thoroughbreds for 100,000gns in October 2019, today recorded a fourth career win, scoring under last season's Champion Apprentice Jockey Gavin Ryan.
Afterwards McGuinness stated “we were running this lad in Premier Handicaps and his work at home was very very good and we said we'd bite the bullet this year and go back to Listed races.
“He is a good horse and has been galloping with Harry's Bar (stablemate). He had Group form before we got him and had solid form. He is a little hyper but was on song today and I'm blessed that I have a good bunch of horses.
“Gavin (Ryan) said it rode a really good race and he picked up and put the race to bed in a matter of strides.
“I'd say his handicapping days are over now and he'll stay in Stakes races and we have plenty of options for him.”
