What a buzz for Tipperary 's Amy Jo Hayes riding home a 7/1 winner

Ridden by Amy Jo Hayes for trainer Tim Doyle, 7/1 chance Pink Socks won the eight-furlong apprentice handicap at Gowran Park on Bank Holiday Monday.

Owned and bred by the trainer’s wife Claire, the five-year-old came from well off the pace and led inside the final furlong to win by three-parts of a length from the Prunella Dobbs-trained Engines On, a deserved first success having finished runner-up on four previous occasions, three of them at Gowran Park.

Carrick-On-Suir trainer Kevin Coleman and champion jockey Colin Keane combined to take the concluding nine and a half-furlong handicap for three-year-olds with La Juliana.

Owned by Atomic Racing, the 13.2 shot came with a late run from a little off the pace to lead close to the finish to beat Gavin Cromwell’s Mountarde by three-parts of a length.

Templemore’s Lesley Young won the opening two-mile mares’ maiden hurdle at Listowel on Bank Holiday Monday with the Sean O'Keeffe-ridden Cappacurry Ealu. An 8/1 chance, the Tom Treacy and Seanie O'Connell-owned six-year-old was left in the lead when the front-running Russellsbelle fell at the final hurdle and came home two and a quarter lengths clear of Gordon Elliott’s Magic Dawn.

Sam Curling and Pa King won the three-mile hunters’ chase with 8/1 chance Jeremy Pass which runs in the Cashel trainer’s own colours. The nine-year-old made all the running to beat Enda Bolger’s 10/11 favourite Early Doors by a length and three-parts.
