Salamanca Bay proved a spectacular winner of the ThurlesRaces.ie Maiden Hurdle for the Fogarty brothers, Johnny and Mikey, in Thurles.
Back in maiden company after a creditable fifth in a Leopardstown handicap last time, the 15/8 shot set a strong pace, had his nearest rival Kings Keeper in trouble three flights from home and galloped on resolutely, despite an error at the last, to slam Showbusiness by no less than 43 lengths.
