Robyn Donaghue-Leahy partnered her first winner when Tudor Manor (11/1) was too good for his 20 rivals in the BoyleSports Daily Money Back Meetings Apprentice Handicap.
Settled in mid-division, the eight-year-old was asked for more early in the straight and picked up smartly to lead over a furlong out. From there he stayed on well to account for Enquire Within by a length and a half.
“He's a lovely horse. He got injured in Tramore and we couldn't get him right for ages,” said Pat Flynn who trains the winner for his wife.
“We'll go for something similar. He won well in the end.
“Robyn is our apprentice and that's her first winner. She's from Cobh in County Cork. She's ridden a few seconds and she's a good young rider.”
