JUST three days on from an abject effort at Leopardstown, the Emmet Mullins-trained Oriental Eagle showed what he can do when he puts his best effort forward by springing quite a surprise in the Listed Martin Molony Stakes.

Rachael Blackmore, who will be back at Limerick on Monday for the return of jumps racing, was entrusted with the mount on this formerly German-based Group 2 and Group 3 winner and the rider duly notched up by far her biggest win on the flat.
