GER Lyons was left ‘gobsmacked’ after Howd’yadoit (13/2) claimed the feature Irish EBF Ballyhane Stakes (Median Auction Race) of €200,000.

Completing a treble for Colin Keane, the 87-rated bay tracked the leaders and was ridden to challenge between horses with over a furlong to go. Surging to the front inside the final 100 yards, he ultimately came home three-quarters of a length to the good in the colours of Sean Jones, a long-time ally of the winning handler.
