Ger Lyons and Colin Keane rattled off a quick treble at Fairyhouse tonight when National Lady justified her short price in the six-furlong maiden on the card.
The Magna Grecia filly had been placed on her previous three starts and went to post an even-money shot to get the job done tonight.
Keane produced his mount to challenge passing the two pole and she hit the front a furlong-and-a-half out, going on to post a convincing three-length success over Emerald Eclipse
“It's been a great night's work, I'm absolutely delighted,” said Lyons.
“She did that well and well done to the lads, they called it right (with the trip).
“Kerri bought her for Mark Dobbin and I'm delighted for him as he's become a big supporter of the yard. He's got horses with Joseph (O'Brien) and Johnny (Murtagh) and myself and he deserves a lot of luck because he's putting plenty in.
“Obviously we'll start thinking about black-type but she's a long way off that at the minute. We'll bring her home and make a plan and see how she progresses.
“She shows me nothing at home though so it's hard to read.”
