Pat Flynn enjoyed a landmark day in his 25-year training career at Leopardstown yesterday with a 77 to 1 black type double that included She's Our Mark bridging a quarter century gap in the Group Three Desmond Stakes.

Flynn's only previous Group success came in his very first season training in 1982 when Virginia Deer won the Group Three Curragh Stakes and while he has tasted multiple top-flight victories over jumps since then, yesterday was still a significant day for the Co Waterford trainer.

Half an hour after She's Our Mark won, Baby Blue Eyes, also ridden by Danny Grant, trounced the opposition by four lengths in the Listed Hurry Harriet Stakes to emphasise Flynn's resurgence with a vengeance. "I'm getting good stock into the yard again," said a delighted Flynn. "And I've always said that if you give me the tools, I'll finish the job."

She's Our Mark will be targeted next at the Group One Matron Stakes back at Leopardstown in 19 days' time and her biggest fan reckons she will be far from out of her depth. "She's a fantastic filly. I remember having her for only three weeks and thinking she was one of the best I've had," Flynn said after she beat Eastern Appeal by half a length yesterday with the warm favourite, Haatef, only third.

"What we didn't want today was to be left in front for too long so we decided to wait and see what happened. It has worked out great," added Flynn.

Baby Blue Eyes will be kept to Listed level for her next start in the Dance Design Stakes at the Curragh but the evidence of her rout yesterday suggests she may be better than that. The heavy odds-on favourite Timarwa was beaten before the straight but Baby Blue Eyes settled things in a matter of strides. "She's getting stronger every time and improving a massive amount," said Flynn whose jump horses like Montelado and French Ballerina also managed to secure valuable victories on the flat.

Another Listed winner for Flynn this season is Galistic and she will be aimed at the Irish St Leger before hopefully gaining a place in the Melbourne Cup in November. "We think she's good enough and the owners want to go," he said.

Kevin Prendergast was out of luck with Haatef but he hit the Group Three spot in the Ballyroan Stakes as Mores Wells edged out the other joint favourite Fracas by half a length to also earn a place in the Irish Leger field. "It's probably a tall order and the older horses will take a bit of whacking but I think he is getting better," Prendergast said.

Dermot Weld will aim Domestic Fund at either the Beresford Stakes or the Racing Post Trophy following the narrow maiden success for Refuse To Bend's brother yesterday.

Katiyra earned quotes of as low as 20 to 1 for next year's Oaks with a smooth debut success in the fillies maiden and trainer John Oxx said: "Something like the Park Stakes might be an option and she should get a mile and a half next year."

Colm O'Donoghue picked up a two-day ban for careless riding after getting Sedna home in the fillies handicap.
