Twentyfourcarrot powered down the straight to make all in the concluding lady riders' bumper at Limerick under Emily Cody, giving trainer Declan Queally a double on the card.
The Balko filly took them along in the two-miler and the 5/2 favourite was asked for an effort turning for home.
She galloped on strongly in the closing stages to post a comprehensive 16 length success over Derryville
The winner had been placed twice from three previous outings, most recently when third at Galway late last month.
Queally junior, whose partner Arvil had baby boy Ross on Friday, said:- "That is mighty! I walked the course, had a good chat with Emily and felt staying down along the rail, where the ground hadn't been used, was the best place to be.
"Ray Barron came back in after riding her the last day and was kicking himself as he felt he didn't go fast enough. She is a real tough stayer and I think she will get blacktype over hurdles.
“She is a decent filly and I made a mistake running her on quick ground at Cork two runs ago.
"Her mother was decent, won three or four races and got blacktype and it is nice to have another winner for Sean (O'Neill, owner) who is a great supporter of ours. He has a nice filly on his hands." Diamond Nora had also won for Queally earlier on the card.
