Two And Two caused a 40/1 upset in Dundalk’s Join Us On Instagram @dundalk_stadium Race today, scoring for trainer Danny McLoughlin, jockey Nathan Crosse and owners Syndicates Racing.

The daughter of Far Above had finished eighth of 12 on a debut run in December and while today’s race was open to previous three-year-old winners, was filled by 10 maidens.

Racing prominently throughout, Two And Two battled well to eventually overhaul This Guy (the race’s number 4 and 4/9 favourite) by three-parts of a length.

McLoughlin reported "we thought a bit of her at home but didn't learn a whole pile about her the last day. She broke very quick then from a wide draw but Nathan took her back to get her to switch off, as she can run a little free.

“We concentrated on switching her off but probably ended up shuffling too far back. It wasn't ideal, we ended up wide so we put a line through her run as we always liked the way she worked.

“She was working the same way prior to today and with racing, she has naturally improved. She'll definitely get seven furlongs and will probably get a mile."
