Queally lands nice touch with across the card double Having landed the opener down in Limerick trainer Declan Queally struck again in the first race at Ballinrobe with another all-the-way winner, the well-backed Diamond Nora. The point-to-point winner had been well beaten in two maiden hurdle outings this year but left that form well behind when scoring at 16/1, having been as big as 150/1 this morning. Kevin Sexton gave the Diamond Boy mare a positive ride and she found plenty when tackled by Burvea after the second last. Diamond Nora galloped on strongly to assert after the final flight and record a three-and-a-quarter length win. Sexton said afterwards: "Declan's horses are always fit. It was a bad race and she'd won a three mile point-to-point so he said to make a bit of use of her. "Her last run at Gowran wasn't bad, she probably got stuck in the ground a bit there, and in fairness to her today I made plenty of use of her and she did nothing but stay at it. "The better ground definitely suited and she jumped better on it as well." (Quotes by Mark Nunan)
