Trainer Emmet Mullins and stable jockey Donagh Meyler followed up Kempton doubles yesterday with success at Tramore today as Barra Rua (11/4) made all to win the New Years Day Discount Tickets Online Mares Maiden Hurdle.

Successful with both Kempton runners Dream On Baby and Chance Another One yesterday, five-year-old Barra Rua today made all the running for an eight lengths success over Mahon Falls adding to her all-out nose success in a course bumper in October.

Maxine O'Sullivan, representing her partner Emmet Mullins, said "Donagh said she really enjoyed the ground and I thought she just toughed it out really well. She is a lovely staying mare.

"I had won on her here in October but Donagh did it a lot easier today! She was brilliant that day and I think she is improving all the time.

"The lads (the Seven Heads Group Syndicate) had a winner yesterday at Kempton with Dream On Baby, so they've had a great two days. They are great owners and are from Cork. Pat Tobin bred both fillies and the syndicate have them leased. They are knocking great sport out of them."
