O'Keeffe doubles up on Therellbguddaysyet

There was a major shock in race four at Thurles when 1/2 favourite Foreverwalking was cut down by 40/1 outsider Therellbguddaysyet

Foreverwalking picked the initiative from Committee Meeting two out, but jumped left and was less than fluent at the last opening the door to that rival.

Therellbguddaysyet was staying on in third all the while and came with a strong rattle to grab both Foreverwalking and Committee Meeting who were having their own battle in the closing stages.

The 40/1 winner prevailed by three-parts of a length from the odds-on favourite.

This brought up a double for jockey Darragh O'Keeffe who was also successful on Malinas Glory in the preceding race.

Trainer Mikey O'Connor said: "I rode him myself last week when I felt the ground was that bit solid and he wants 2m4f. I was a fraction disappointed, but I minded him once his chance had gone and left him canter home.

"I was delighted to see Willie's horse (Mullins, Fishery Lane) coming out as he looks a very good horse and I told Darragh to ride him to run well and that we'd take it from there.

"He is a fierce kind horse who was only broken when he was six and Jack De Bromhead actually rode him when he was a breaker. Jack used to come up to us during the summer and was a wonderful kid - he might be looking down on us today."
