At odds of 50/1, the Fozzy Stack-trained Shandy won the near six-furlong Group 3 Tally-Ho Stud EBF Ballyogan Stakes at Naas on Sunday.
She raced on the stands’ side under Andrew Slattery and just got the better of the Paddy Twomey-trained 15/8 favourite Firebird by a head, the pair separated by the width of the track.
Earlier on the card, Aidan O'Brien and local apprentice Jack Cleary shared their second winner of the week together when taking the seven-furlong median sires fillies’ maiden with Garden Of Eden.
An 18/1 chance, she was headed inside the final furlong but battled back to win by a head from the Joseph O'Brien-trained Celtic Motif with Cormac Farrell’s Twolatebabydoll the same margin away in third place.
After a stewards’ enquiry, the placings of the second and third horses were reversed.
