Robyndeglory springs 25/1 surprise for the Queallys

Robyndeglory caused a 25/1 surprise when coming from off the pace to record a third win over hurdles in the Support The Irish Injured Jockeys Fund Handicap Hurdle at Wexford.
The Declan Queally-trained mare won twice earlier this season but had lost her way this year before the application of a tongue tie here proved fruitful.
The trainer’s son and namesake produced her to make significant headway early in the straight of this three mile event, and she finished strongly to deny the front-running Turbojet close home. Prince Zaltar could find no extra from before the last in third.
Declan Queally junior said, “The tongue-tie worked the oracle, she had been stopping in her races and we'd been trying different things.
“I said I'd have a tour round on her today and see what I thought. I hunted away to see if I could get her to run well with the tongue-tie.
“Even turning in I could feel her feeling her wind so I said to myself 'take you time if you want'. There was no major panic and she kept picking up for me so it was great.”
