AUSTIN LEAHY and Gerry O'Neill combined to land a 29 to 1 double at Tramore yesterday with Be My Folly and Indestructible.

Be My Folly, a 4 to 1 chance, just lasted home in the testing conditions to beat the fast finishing Garraun Native by a length in the Brownstown Mares Maiden Hurdle, and, according to her winning trainer, she will now go handicapping.

Indestructible survived a mistake at the final fence and then a stewards inquiry to win the Dunmore East Handicap Chase. Although he peeked on landing over the last, as did his closest challenger, Zvornik, Indestructible was quick to recover and went away on the run in to win by two lengths.

Blazing Trail, ridden by Danoli's new jockey, Tom Treacy, ran out a fortuitous winner of an eventful Metal Man Beginners Chase. The well backed favourite, Padash pan got no further than the first fence, where he blundered and lost his jockey, David Casey.
