Adrian Maguire's mare Knockraha Pylon caused a 66-1 upset in the www.thurlesraces.ie Maiden Hurdle.
Baily Cloud was the 11-8 market leader as he aimed to bounce back from unseating David Casey at Fairyhouse last Sunday and he looked set to deliver for favourite backers after hitting the front between the final two flights.
However, Knockraha Pylon came roaring back under Johnny Burke and stuck to her task admirably to take victory by two and three-quarter lengths.
Zafayan beat a weakening Baily Cloud to the runner-up spot.
Maguire said: "As the old saying goes, she didn't know she was 66-1!
"It wasn't a surprise, far from it. She was awarded second place in her point-to-point at Inch last year but took time to come to herself.
"She's a good honest tough mare who loved the ground but got detached at Tramore the last day. Being a mare, she is clever and fell asleep.
"I revved up the jockey today and it worked out, although the last day was the making of her.
"I'd the same jockey back and he gave her a super ride."
