Lolly Yeats (9/4f) continued the good run of trainer Kevin Coleman at Dundalk today, as the 70-rated filly made all to win the Floodlit Fridays At Dundalk Maiden, under jockey Mikey Sheehy.
The daughter of Lawman's previous best efforts were a pair of summer fourth-placings and on all-weather debut today, made all when easily beating runner-up Gudrid to credit Coleman, in his second full season as a trainer, with a seventh individual winner of the year.
Galway Plate winning ex-jockey Coleman later commented “she (Lolly Yeats) is a very good filly. I thought a lot of her and she ran a blinder at the Curragh the first time, I ran her back too quick the next time and she wasn't quite right.
“Then she ran a blinder in Roscommon and the last day she actually colicked after the race on the way home.
“She hasn't done anything wrong, she's a big filly and she's only three. I think she could get black-type somewhere, she needs good ground.
“If you had asked me earlier in the year if it would have taken this long to win a maiden I'd have said no chance. That's the way it goes. I don't know what to do with her now to be honest. I haven't clipped her because we said we'd probably finish up after tonight, win, lose or draw.
“She could be good enough to just put away now but when they are going well it's hard to stop.”
