14/1 chance Pretty Rebel won the Equilux Works Or Your Money Back Handicap (Div I) to give Shane Foley a 38/1 double after Rosie Bassett in the first.
The Gutaifan filly hit the front over a furlong from home and kept on well to beat the 9/2 favourite Fall for A Kiss and Youceeyouceecee (7/1) by half a length and the same.
The winner hadn’t been beaten far in her previous two starts in handicaps and was breaking her maiden on her seventh outing.
Her dam La Chassotte won five handicaps in 2010 and the winning trainer Ger O’Leary (8th winner of the campaign) said of his homebred: “She's a half-sister to Newgirlintown (three-time winner in 2020). This is the first time she's had a clear run at it really.
“I'd like to acknowledge the role Adrian Joyce (former trainer, now assistant) is playing, since he came to the yard everything is going great.”
