Outsider of the field she may have been but that didn't stop Cimeara (14/1) from coming out on top in the TRI Equestrian Handicap at Leopardstown.
Punters only had five to choose from here but the market got it wrong as Tullyallen (3/1) and Christopher Robin (9/10 favourite) filled the last two positions.
Up front Jim Bolger's Cimeara (Kevin Manning up) got the better of fellow outsider Crecerelle (11/1) by half a length.
Cimeara was doing it for the girls as she was the only filly in the field
"She's tough and everything you'd want in a racehorse," said Bolger.
"She'll stay further and she might find it easier at a mile-and-a-half. We'll see what the handicapper does and see what is in the program book."
The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Christopher Robin, trained by A.P.O'Brien, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.
