Princess Leya caused a 16/1 upset to win the Grade B Roy Evans/Barry Geraghty Golf Classic Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse today, making all to win for mother/son trainer/jockey combo of Mags and Danny Mullins.

The daughter of Old Vic stayed on gamely in the home straight and in the end had all of a dozen lengths to spare over Shantou Ed

Afterwards trainer Mags Mullins stated “she was off a lovely light weight in her first handicap; she had been running behind Little King Robin (prolific winning front-runner) so has learned to go like the clappers!

“She’s an improving filly and John (Fallon, owner from Co. Galway) has her for breeding. He’s a great supporter and went off to Tattersalls recently and bought another filly. I’m really charmed with her today!”
