THE upward trajectory of Paddy Twomey’s training career continued at this midweek fixture, with the talented Golden-based handler registering a first treble. Combining with Billy Lee for all three wins, Royal Entry rounded off a fruitful evening for the pair in the Mallow Fillies’ Maiden. Slow into stride and losing a considerable amount of ground, the Marguerite Joyce-owned four-year-old pulled off a remarkable last to first win.

Gradually closing on the main protagonists in the back straight, the former Jim Bolger inmate travelled sweetly in third from the two-furlong pole.
