THE Phelan’s Tullogher House Stud has been the nursery for many good winners, but few will have caused as much of a shock as Keeper Of Time, the 80/1 winner of the Group 3 Ballylinch Stud “Priory Belle” 1000 Guineas Trail at Leopardstown.

Winning owner Johnny Nolan paid a mere €3,000 for the three-year-old daughter of Tally-Ho Stud’s Mehmas (Acclamation) as a newly-turned yearling and she is worth many multiples of that now after her second victory.
