Joe Foley of Ballyhane Stud, who recently celebrated his birthday, saw his colours carried to success by Ana O'Brien on Suburban Sky in the Ticket Sales Online @corkracecourse.ie Apprentice Handicap.

Trained by Foley's wife Jane, who recently registered a first Galway Festival winner with Surreal, Suburban Sky was always looking good from her rail-side draw in nine and she eventually saw off Apache Gold by three and a quarter lengths.

Jane Foley said: "We've no great plans now and it was just great to get the win. I was surprised how she handled the ground." (TW & EM)
