Her stable companion Enough Is Enough was a close second in the 2.35 on this card, and on her opening effort for the Paddy Meany yard Sarah Ash Calum sprung a 20/1 surprise under Gary Carroll in the Download The Award Winning At The Races App Maiden at Tipperary.
An eight race maiden with a basement mark hardly looked a credible contender for a race such as this, on the back of a ninth placing in a handicap for Billy Fitzpatrick at Naas seventeen days back.
However the Le Cadre Noir filly found what was required inside the last to get up in the final fifty yards and beat Accalia by half a length.
"I only have her a couple of weeks and that's her first run for me but it is still a surprise she won," acknowledged Meany.
"I didn't know much about her but she came fit. I bought her privately and we'll have to go the handicap route now."
