Rubydooby strikes for Twomey & Lee

Sixth in a Naas maiden on her only start for Johnny Murtagh, well-backed 5/2 joint-favourite Rubydooby returned from over a year off to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.

Now in the care of Paddy Twomey, Vimal Khosla's three-year-old tracked the leaders under Bill Lee and came through to lead over a furlong out before staying on well to beat Hey Whatever by a length and three quarters.

Twomey said: "She is a well bred filly and I'm delighted with the way that went. I was hoping she'd run well.

"She is a Dubawi and is out of a sister to Together Forever and Forever Together and is closely related to City Of Troy so it is important she has won her maiden."
