Six year old mare Decision Time landed the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (Fillies) Maiden at Fairyhouse today when adding to a previous bumper success for her trainer John Kiely.

Ridden today by Emmet McNamara, the June Downpatrick bumper winner proved a length and a quarter too strong for Alaykha whose rider Pat Smullen in the process failed to peg back the four winner lead of Jockeys’ Championship leader Colin Keane.

Kiely wasn’t present but McNamara later commented “she did it easily, and hopefully she can continue to go forward. John (Kiely) picked out a good race for her.”
