Deegan smiling after Navan win Jockey Chris Hayes partnered 16/1 shot See You Smile to land the Tom Malone Celebrates his 80th Birthday Handicap at Navan today. Paul Deegans charge who was in rear for most took closer order from over a furlong out. The Refuse To Bend filly kept on well under a strong drive by Hayes to lead close home and deny Silk Slippers by three parts of a length. Winning trainer Deegan stated: “Chris [Hayes] gave her a great ride. She has always shown us a bit at home.” “She had a good run at Dundalk in October but sustained an injury afterwards.” “She has been working well at home and worked particularly well last Tuesday.” “She loves that ground she bounced off it today and hopefully there’s another day in her.”
