Peter Fahey bookended the Fairyhouse card when Three Bay Queen routed the field in the Listed mares' bumper.
The Westerner mare came from last entering the straight to storm into the lead for Jamie Codd over a furlong out.
The race was over in the final 150 yards as she cleared away in impressive fashion by seven lengths at 11/1 having been available at 25/1 this morning. Miss Agusta finished second at 9/1, a neck in front of another 9/1 chance, Cuta Des As
This was Tiger Bay Queen s first run since finishing second in a Gowran Park bumper in January last year.
Fahey said: “I thought an awful lot of her and we ran her at Gowran on Thyestes Chase day (in 2022) and came home disappointed that she didn’t win.
“We gave her time off and started her back in a schooling hurdle at Tipperary last October and she genuinely won it by a hurdle. She got a very bad overreach and it held me up until now.
“I wanted to get a run into her and give her a summer’s break. She can be keen, but Jamie gave her a great ride. She’s very, very good and is different gravy over a hurdle.”
Fahey also took the opening maiden hurdle through Canal End
