Paul Deegan earlier completed a 230/1 double, and Chris Hayes followed suit as he took the finale on Derby Day, the Dubai Duty Free Full Of Surprises Summer Fillies Handicap, aboard Penny Pepper
Deegan and Hayes earlier combined to score with Papa's Way and the Limerick pilot was teaming up with his boss Kevin Prendergast for this success.
Having won her maiden over the course last April, the four-year-old daughter of Fast Company failed to follow-up in eleven starts since.
She was however placed on five of those starts, and while she was available at 14's this morning, she opened on-course at 12's before going off a 10/1 chance.
Settled behind the leaders, she travelled best two furlongs out and soon hit the front. She was ridden over a furlong from home, and extended her advantage in the closing stages, going on to score by two and a quarter lengths.
Top-weight Molly Dolly (25/1) ran well to finish second under Leigh Roche for Bill Farrell, while Colour Blue was three parts of a length back in third under Connor King for Willie McCreery at 14/1. Hazmiyra for the Derby winning team of Smullen, Weld and the Aga Khan, was sent off the 9/4 favourite and she finished a disappointing tenth.
Chris Hayes said in the aftermath: "She's been the most unlucky filly the boss has in training.
"She's never had a good draw. She had a terrible draw last time on quick ground and nothing went right for her.
"The boss earmarked this race after that and said if it came up easy she'd win.
"The boss is at home taking care of Awtaad so I got no instructions. I got there an hour too soon so hopefully I don't get in trouble for that!"
