Hayes at double on All In The Hips

All In The Hips overturned Naas form with Wakai Umi to land the five-furlong nursery at Down Royal.

She gave Chis Hayes a quick-fire double after he took the opener on Gobi Star

The Ivawood filly loomed large on the shoulder of 7/4 favourite Wakai Umi and got the better of her racing inside the final furlong.

She soon powered home by three and three quarter lengths at 10/3 from 9/2.

Hayes said: "The lads were very confident of a big run in Naas, but I thought I was drawn on the wrong side the last day.

"Jack (Davison) said to me this morning that she had come on a bit. I was fairly confident and I thought the only thing that might beat me would be maybe the ground.

"To be fair, she has mentally sharpened up. Once she stepped out over the road, she lugged a little bit left but, once I gave her a smack, she put the race to bed and quickened up well.

"I'm hopeful she will transfer that on to the all-weather (in Dundalk) as I don't know what is left for her on the grass."

Wakai Umi won over this trip in Naas last Monday and beat All In The Hips into fourth.
