Howd'yadoit proves a pleasant surprise for Lyons in Naas feature
Unbreakable Duke was subsequently demoted to third, with Summer Is Tomorrow promoted to second, following a stewards' inquiry into interference.
British raider Jel Pepper (6-4 favourite) was fourth for Paul and Oliver Cole, while Prix Robert Papin winner Green Sense was withdrawn by Joseph O'Brien due to unsuitable ground.
Lyons – who teamed up with Keane to land this race with Sacred Bridge in 2021 – admitted: 'I'm gobsmacked, as I didn't think he'd be good enough.
'What an honest horse, he's been doing it well. We wanted to win a maiden en route to winning a nursery, but he (handicapper) hit him with a mark that I thought was ridiculous for what I felt was a poor maiden.
'We came here because it was a good pot, and I said any bit of the prize-money is grand. Never in my wildest dreams did I think he'd win.'
He added: 'I'm delighted as Sean's (Jones, owner) horses are now bought for and named by his sons Eddie and James to keep them interested and they are here today. They are the next generation, so it's great.
'Sean has been with me from day one and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.'

Owen Farrell sparks major backlash as 'awful' video emerges and stars blasted
Owen Farrell sparks major backlash as 'awful' video emerges and stars blasted The British and Irish Lions star was caught in a verbal exchange with Wallabies star Joseph Suaalii Owen Farrell is shown shouting at Australia centre Joseph Suaalii (Image: Former international referee Owen Doyle has condemned the fiery on-field scenes during the final Test between the British and Irish Lions and Australia, singling out Owen Farrell for an expletive-laden outburst at Wallabies star Joseph Suaalii. In a match marred by relentless scuffles, sledging and verbal exchanges, the Lions clinched the series 2-1 despite falling to defeat in a storm-hit clash in Sydney. But it was the ugly flashpoints—not the rugby—that dominated the post-match headlines, with Farrell at the centre of one of the most talked-about incidents. Footage widely shared online shows the England fly-half appearing to launch into an angry rant at Suaalii following a second-half altercation, with many fans and pundits questioning the conduct of several senior players. Doyle, writing in his Irish Times column, labelled the match 'a travesty' of the sport and questioned whether such scenes reflect the values rugby claims to uphold. 'There was a very intemperate undercurrent throughout,' Doyle said. 'Both teams wanted desperately to win, and at times nasty stuff surfaced. Owen Farrell's incensed verbal outburst aimed at Joseph Suaalii was an awful look.' Article continues below Content cannot be displayed without consent The former referee and director of Irish officials said both sides were guilty of stoking the ill-tempered tone of the match, naming Will Skelton and Nic White as the main agitators for the Wallabies, with Tom Curry and Dan Sheehan among those responding for the Lions. 'There was constant sledging, faux-grinning and taunting from the start. Is all of this really what rugby wants to be?' he continued. 'The match failed miserably to uphold the game's stated values. Respect for the opposition was nowhere in sight. How sad that was to see.' Doyle also took aim at the Lions' mindset heading into the decider, accusing them of complacency after having sealed the series in Melbourne a week earlier. Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. 'The Lions' objective was to win all three Tests, but they played as if the party had started a week early. Perhaps it had.' Despite his scathing criticism of the players, Doyle praised Georgian referee Nika Amashukeli for his measured performance in the face of a chaotic match marked by flare-ups, torrential rain and a lightning delay. 'He is a strong operator, unflappable too. His calm assuredness was essential… In all the prevailing circumstances, it's unlikely that anyone could have done better.' Doyle concluded with a sobering warning about how matches like this could be viewed by parents weighing up whether rugby is a safe and positive sport for their children. Article continues below 'This match will have spoken very emphatically for those against the motion. At the same time, it will have done nothing for those in favour. Absolutely nothing.' The fallout from the game is likely to continue, with calls for players and teams to better uphold rugby's core values of respect and sportsmanship in high-pressure Test environments.

Renfrewshire martial arts fighters achieve remarkable medal haul on home soil
They were successful at the World Taekwon-do Championships which took place at the Braehead Arena. Renfrewshire martial arts students brought international glory home last week – returning from the World Taekwon-do Championships with a remarkable haul of medals and unforgettable performances. Three members of the Phoenix Taekwon-do and Korean Kickboxing Renfrewshire club secured medals at the championships held on their home turf at Braehead Arena. Elena Poulos, James Allan and Isla Caldwell were amongst 13 students of the Renfrew club who joined instructor Kev Wyllie in stepping onto the world stage. Elena, an incredible 43-year-old grandmother, won gold in the individual sparring category. Having only joined the club 18 months ago, she now holds eight national and international titles, including the Irish, British, English and Scottish championships. Her latest victory at the worlds cements her as one of the fastest-rising stars in UK martial arts. James brought home silver in the men's individual sparring contest after a hard-fought campaign in the senior male division, showcasing exceptional skill and determination. But it wasn't just the adults who saw success on the day, with 13-year-old Isla also displaying maturity and technical brilliance far beyond her years to win a silver medal in the girls patterns competition. And young Keiran Tillery made an outstanding debut on home soil, winning gold with Scottish competitors in the team sparring category in his first-ever competition. Instructor Kev also impressed on the day, fighting his way back on to the stage after a heart attack just a few months ago. The 55-year-old fought his way to the quarter-finals in the men's heavyweight sparring competition, including a commanding 17–3 win over a top Canadian opponent. Kev – who led 300 Scottish athletes into the opening ceremony playing the bagpipes with the Paisley & District Royal British Legion Pipe Band – said: 'The global event attracted over 1,700 competitors from around the world, transforming Braehead into the epicentre of martial arts for a spectacular weekend of elite competition. 'From the Renfrew club, 13 local athletes joined me in stepping on to the world stage – and their performances were nothing short of inspiring. 'To win on home soil, in front of friends, family, and the local community, made this an unforgettable experience. We've always believed in the strength of our Renfrewshire fighters – and they proved they belong on the world stage.' Phoenix Taekwon-do and Korean Kickboxing Renfrewshire continue to offer classes for all ages and levels at Renfrew Leisure Centre and venues across the region.

'I don't think about it': Liverpool's Florian Wirtz unfazed by £100m price tag
Liverpool's record signing Florian Wirtz has insisted his price tag is irrelevant to him and he is just focused on making the Premier League champions better ahead of their title defence. The German attacking midfielder arrived at Anfield for an initial £100million, with a further £16m of achievable add-ons, making his move from German-side Bayer Leverkusen a potentially British record-breaking one. However, speaking after a 3-2 friendly win over Athletic Bilbao on Monday 4 August, the 22-year-old brushed off the figures involved. 'I don't think about it. I just want to play football and how much money the clubs pay between each other, it doesn't matter,' he said. 'Of course the big challenge is to win the title again and it is the most difficult thing so (I will) try and just create chances and also work against the ball. 'I can also run a lot so (I will) bring this to the team and then with the ball I can make the team better and bring my team-mates into better situations. 'I came because I thought I could fit in this team and I am enjoying to play with these players and getting every time a little bit better so I am happy with how it is going.' Wirtz scored 57 times in 197 appearances for Leverkusen – and almost broke the deadlock against Bilbao with a header which clipped the crossbar. He added: "I am a player who needs freedom on the pitch and the manager gives it to me because I have to respect the position and the players around me. 'I will try to find the right places to be and the right spaces to get the ball and to be dangerous and create chances – I have not played a match in the Premier League but I am looking forward and that is why I came.' Asked whether he thought playing in England was more difficult than Germany and whether he would be able to continue to play his own game, he replied: 'To be honest, I don't know. 'There are some differences to Germany but I think there is also something I can learn and make me better so I am really looking forward to it. 'It's more intense and more physical, every player is really strong, really fast. That is what everybody is telling me.'
