Limerick man Chris Hayes doubled his score at Greenmount Park when well-bred handicap first-timer Pushkar (28/1) upset the odds in the limerickraces.ie Online Packages Handicap.

Tim Doyle 's charge was held up at the back of this six runner field and she made ground when asked for an effort a furlong and a half out.

She got to third a furlong out and was on terms with Private Party in the final furlong before edging on close home to score by a neck. Favourite Salariaq didn't get the run of the race and ended up two and a quarter lengths off the principals in third.

"She is out of a Moyglare winner (Mail The Desert) and was bought as a potential broodmare from Henry Cecil after one run as a two year old," revealed Doyle.

"She's in foal to Ruler Of The World and that's job done for her but we won't leave it at that. She's in at Cork on Monday and if she's ok she'll run.

"Chris gave her a lovely ride and said she went down (to post) pretty keen but he dropped her out and she relaxed well."

Hayes had landed the first on Corail for Lady O'Reilly and Paul Deegan.
