Caitouna surprises Flynn in fillies handicap Paul Flynn admitted that Caitouna’s victory in the fillies handicap over seven at Fairyhouse came as a bit of a surprise. The Ghaiyyath filly had finished mid-division on her handicap debut over six at the Curragh and went to post a 14/1 shot tonight. Colin Keane sent his mount on passing the two pole and she stuck on well in the closing stages to record a half-length win over Dervo Annie. “We were meant to go to Dundalk in a few weeks for a three-year-old only but I said to Pat that I didn’t think she was working well enough to wait for it so we said we’d run here,” said Flynn. “Pat said put Colin up if he’s available and it was a good decision. He gave her a great ride. “When I saw the draw yesterday and I said I wished she wasn’t running here. I don’t think she did anything right and she won so it’s great. “She’s really strengthened up. On all her runs until now it looked like she wanted seven but to ride her at home you’d think she wanted further.”
