All-the-way Creggs Pipes powers to Galway glory

Creggs Pipes completed a four-timer with an all-the-way success in the COLM QUINN BMW Mile Handicap at the Galway Festival.

Andrew Slattery's four-year-old filly continues to go from strength to strength, adding a Killarney Listed victory to two big Curragh handicaps earlier this month, and set a strong gallop in the hands of Declan McDonogh.

The 11-2 favourite swung for home with a clear advantage and while her stride did shorten in the final 100 yards, she was still a length and three-quarters clear of Brian Ellison's running-on Top Notch Tonto as they flashed past the post.
