Eagles arrive to cap off a fantastic week for Donaghue-Leahy

Not Just Any Eagle, trained by Pat Flynn, won Division ll of the Racing Again June 14th Handicap at Cork, recording a second course and distance victory.

The five-year-old, a Free Eagle's son, was also giving his young jockey Robyn Donaghue-Leahy credit for her career's second victory.

In less than a week, the young Cobh woman was making her second visit to the top spot, having made almost 40 tries to get to the winners' enclosure.

It was just last Friday night at Leopardstown that she had secured her first victory on Tudor Manor.

Donaghue-Leahy was strong in the finish, riding her mount to a half-length victory, no doubt buoyed by the confidence that comes from riding a winner over Tomahawk King.

The winning jockey said: "I hoped this lad would always be my first winner but after riding a winner on Friday, I thought I'd never be this lucky to ride another. My family weren't in Leopardstown but there was great excitement at home and they're here today. He (Flynn) said to jump forward and if someone wants to come around us, let them work to do it. He was a little keen on the back (straight) and when the leader came back to us, I didn't want to ask him too soon as he can roll around when he hits the front. He did it well. I've ridden him five times, had finished second on him three times and now this win so I can't complain and being a (Flynn family) homebred makes it more special."
