Queally Enjoys Further Galway Success The Declan Queally-trained Sarahs Lawn (6/1) was a tenacious winner of the Electric Galway Irish EBF Mares Flat Race for jockey Declan Queally. The four-year-old daughter of Yeats was a winner of a Lisronagh point-to-point, and she brought that experience to the track as she settled under Queally throughout the contest before he set sail to peg back the Willie Mullins-trained Fleur Dino up the daunting Galway hill. After a sustained battle with jockey Patrick Mullins up the hill, Queally's mount stuck her neck out and gained victory by three-quarters of a length. Speaking after the race, rider Declan Queally said: "Barry Stone had been riding for me in bumpers and recommended this mare, so we bought her from Benny Walsh. She had some niggly problems after she arrived but the last three weeks have been golden, and I've been happy with her. "The boys were shying away from coming to Galway but I could feel her ability at home and it worked out well. "The lads (ten-member syndicate from Dungarvan) have just asked is she as good as their other mare Mozzies Sister but I won't go insulting Mozzie just yet. She has big races to win to be as good, but we'll look at the Listed Mucklemeg Bumper (Gowran, November) as a target now and she is a nice filly." (Quotes from Tom Weekes)
