Maguire rides them to sleep on Fahey's Lullaby

Placed in two bumpers last year and sixth in a Grade 2 at the Dublin Racing Festival when last seen in February, Glens Lullaby had no problem in landing odds of 10/11 in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares (Pro/Am) Flat Race. 

In front after half-a-mile and clear at halfway, Fiona McStay's homebred daughter of Mares' Hurdle winner Glens Melody was given a breather on the final circuit by Finny Maguire before kicking clear again to beat Dancing Dame by 13 lengths.

Trainer Peter Fahey said: "I thought she was a very good filly last year but she was a weak four-year-old. I was kicking myself at the end of the season as I overfaced her a little bit. I have no doubt that she will be a black-type filly over hurdles, she is beautifully bred and it's great for Fiona. 

"She'll go on over hurdles now and keep going all through the winter. She is no way ground dependent and fingers crossed that, if we get a clear run with her, she'll be a right good hurdler. 

"She ran two great races on her first two runs, then she was fourth at Navan and missed out on the black type. We threw her in at the deep end at Leopardstown and my horses probably weren't bombing it at the time. In fairness to Fiona she has stuck by me and we'll drive on now.  

"They just carted a bit for the first furlong and she ended up in front. Finny gave her a great ride and she won with plenty in hand. We'll give her a few weeks now and then make a plan."
