Doyle & Flanagan strike with 50/1 shock in Pierse
Liz Doyle saddled the biggest winner of her career when Penny's Bill recorded a massive 50/1 shock in the Pierse Hurdle.
Sean Flanagan had the seven-year-old gelding close to the pace throughout, and held on by a diminishing head from 11/2 favourite Psycho Carthalawn was a length and a quarter back in third, with Splurge fourth.
'I've been struggling with the health of my horses but this fellow ran well here two weeks ago after a break, and I felt if he came on from that he'd be competitive,' said a delighted Ms Doyle.
'The weights going up after Newmill came out of the race was a big help to us as we would have been 6lb out of the handicap.'
'Sean rides out for me once every week and knows the horse well,' added the Co. Wexford trainer.
