The Tommy Stack trained Just Joan justified 9/10 favouritism in the Croom House Stud EBF Fillies Maiden at Listowel today, providing jockey Wayne Lordan with the second leg of a double.

The daughter of Derby winner Pour Moi endged past front-runner High Honcho in the closing stages for a three parts of a length win.

Stack’s son Fozzy Stack later stated “it was a winneable opportunity and she could go black-type hunting now; whether that is achievable or now we’ll find out.

“She’ll definitely step up in trip though.”

Lordan an hour and a half earlier dead-heated on the Austin Leahy trained Fox Dream in the opening juvenile maiden.
