Harry Kelly's horses are behaving themselves in the run-up to the trainer's marriage next Saturday and his Isnt Dat Right completed his double at Wexford today in the concluding Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Mares Bumper.

Ridden by Pa King, the daughter of Gamut was in front when wandering briefly under pressure inside the final furlong but held on well for a half length win over Pearl Diamond

Kelly wasn't present but his brother Jimmy Kelly, who represented the trainer following the earlier win of Theatre Sunset stated "that's our first track double - it's great to get it and is something you dream about - the horses are in form and long may it last."

"This filly had a good run here but things just went wrong for her over hurdles. She just got a fright the first day and lost confidence but she is back on track now and it is great for her owners.

"Donal and Brendan McLoughlin (Cluain Abhann Racing Syndicate) are good racing people and it's great to get the win for them.

"She is a tough little filly, is from the family of White Star Line and has a good staying pedigree. She might make a nice staying hurdler."
