Tell The Boys (10/11f) was an extremely impressive winner of the Oliver Broderick Fillies Flat Race for trainer Declan Queally and jockey Barry Stone Walsh. She was a commanding 14-length winner and the contest never looked in doubt as she led from pillar to post for the Money For Jam Syndicate, who have owned some nice types in the past, including The Big Doyen, who won a Listed Hurdle at the Galway Festival.

Speaking after the race, Declan Queally said: "She ran away with it and she has improved again today. From her work, I thought she had improved, she is fast and is a proper two-miler.

"The boys (Money For Jam Syndicate) were unlucky with The Big Doyen, who had to be retired, and I had bought this filly at Tattersalls, who had shown plenty, so told them she was theirs if they paid the €1,000 (her purchase price) Tattersalls bill.

"I'd say I was just in the right place at the right time at Tattersalls, as a lot of people were gone for lunch at the time. She's not small and I met Sally Ann Grassick, who is breeder Stephanie Hanly's daughter-in-law, and she said that she was a grand filly.

"She came cheap so it is a great story and the pressure is off now. I'm delighted for the syndicate as they deserve this."
