Winning jockey Fran Berry completed a double when The Bull Hayes took advantage of De Valira s refusal to race by landing the Enjoy An Evening At Tipperary Race as the 8-11 favourite.< Polar Explorer (10-1) had finished in rear on each of his four previous appearances but switching to sprinting did the trick and he came home best of all to land the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap.
