Thegreatestreward impresses in Limerick

Thegreatestreward (4/1) put in a sparkling performance on debut to run away with the fillies' bumper in Limerick.
Patrick Mullins came in for the ride when jockey Declan Lavery was unwell. Mullins' intended mount, Irish Lass, was ruled out due to being lame.
When he pushed the button on Thegreatestreward over a furlong out, she stretched away and drew seven lengths clear of her rivals at the line. Dalouga the even-money favourite, could make no impression in second. She was three lengths ahead of Hazy Shadow (8/1 from a morning price of 28/1).
"I really liked her but thought I hadn't enough work done with her as I'd have liked to," trainer Mags Mullins said.
"She was doing everything lovely at home - I think she's a very good filly. All mine are for sale and she's a good filly and jumps super - I love her!"
Thegreatestreward is owned by the trainer and her son Anthony.
