Questions lands a gamble for Lynam & Foley

More Questions overcame a wide draw as he landed a gamble in the Adelaide Insurance Services the Motor Cycle Insurance Specialists 3yo Handicap.

Ridden by Shane Foley and trained by Eddie Lynam, he was 14/1 this morning with Paddy Powers but he opened on track at just 8's before going off at 6/1.

Settled behind the leaders on the outer, he was tenth two furlongs out. He soon made great headway and he swept to the front over a furlong from home.

He kept on well in the closing stages to hold off the challenge of the Kevin Prendergast trained, Dylan Hogan ridden, Dorothy Parker (14/1) by half a length. Municipal was sent off the 9/2 joint favourite and he finished three and a half lengths back in third under Niall McCullagh for Johnny Murtagh while Hail Shower was the other joint favourite and she finished a disappointing ninth under Shane Kelly for Willie McCreery.

Eddie Lynam said afterwards: "That's good to get. He handled the ground which I didn’t he would, but he did. Being a Moss Vale there was a question mark over him.

"He is owned by a gentleman. I know him as Trevor but I’m not sure if that is his real name!

"He has been with me a long time and he is from Markethill in Armagh."
