Sean Flanagan booted home a double at Limerick on his 32nd birthday courtesy of Hello Pilgrim in the two mile six handicap hurdle.
The seven-year-old mare kept finding for pressure and found herself in a duel with Henry Sellers at the second last.
She took a couple of lengths out of Henry Sellers before the last and was kept up to her work to prevail by a length and three quarters at 10/1.
Runner-up Henry Sellers was a 33/1 chance and was half a length in front of Tiger Twenty Two (5/1).
Trainer Colin Bowe said: "When she jumped off Sean said she was behind the bridle but it worked out best for her when she was pulled out wide. She's very small and when she got a bit of room she got a hold of the bridle.
"He said she was good and fit for today. She does her best work at the end and she loves that good ground.
"She has no size but is tough out. She is a summer mare and we'll keep her to hurdles as she is probably too small to jump a fence.
"I have 10 in for the summer."
Flanagan won race four on the card on Colin McBratney's Laureate
