Bonus Time for Twomey at Naas

Bonus Time made all to land the Ironxcell For Energy Race at Naas.

The 2-5 shot was sent straight to the head of the field by Colin Keane, with Zuheila racing keenly in behind.

Keane did not have to ask the daughter of Too Darn Hot too many questions, as the Paddy Twomey-trained filly ran out a half-length winner from Kodilicious, who kept on well for second, with the still green Zuheila in third.

Twomey said: “Her last run was her first run for us and we tried seven in a handicap. She ran really well and Andy (Oliver)’s horse is a good horse that beat her just at the line.

“First time in a handicap carrying 10st and I just thought the last 50 yards looked a long way, so we said we’d come back to six today.

“It looked a nice spot for her and I’m very happy how she did it. Colin looked after her and gave her a nice ride.

“Colin said she could be dropped in and that she was waiting there in front.”

The three-year-old is owned by Yorkshire-based Bond Thoroughbred Limited, and Twomey added: “We’ll try to get some black type with her eventually and she might go to the Ebor meeting in York.”
