Day of firsts at Cork for jockey Mikey Sheehy, and trainers Pat Foley and Tom McGuinness

After a Listowel festival that yielded five winners, including the Kerry National and the listed Listowel Stakes, it was another feature race success for Joseph O’Brien's stable

It was a day of firsts on Tuesday at Cork, with Mikey Sheehy riding his first listed winner, later completing his first double, and trainers Pat Foley and Tom McGuinness both saddling their first winner.

The listed Navigation Stakes was the feature and Sheehy was aboard the Joseph O’Brien-trained Queenship, who was having her first run since April. Travelling well but caught behind runners for much of the straight, when the gap opened, she quickened up nicely to win a shade cosily, with April Showers taking second place to give the O’Brien brothers a one-two.
