Good things come to those that wait and for connections and supporters of Everything Zain their day in the sun arrived at Thurles in the Racecourse Challenge 3-y-o Maiden Hurdle.

The Cape Cross gelding has been both frustrating and costly to follow but things fell right for Bryan Cooper's mount here.

The chasing bunch weren't as fluent as Everything Zain over two out leaving the favourite with a decisive advantage.

Despite swishing his tail Everything Zain consented to keep up the gallop to such effect that he crossed the line two and a half lengths to the good from Brog Deas Money Spider ran a good race considering she was badly hampered at the first and she ended up two and a quarter lengths back in third.

Everything Zain's win was compensation for Hughes and Cooper after the fall of Baby's Hot (still every chance) in the previous event.

Hughes commented: "He deserved that – it was over-due.

"He didn't like being in front and hopefully now he can compete in winners races.

"The ground was too firm for him at Clonmel (two runs back) but we'll hardly be getting any more of that now." (TW & EM)
