Feeling springs shock for Crawley

22/1 shot Iva Feeling stepped forward nicely from her debut to run out a convincing winner of the fillies maiden at Dundalk.
Shane Crawley 's charge had been slowly away when finishing sixth on her first outing at Leopardstown last month and showed the benefit of that experience today.
Robbie Colgan produced the daughter of Ivawood to challenge a furlong-and-a-half out and she got on top inside the final furlong to post a two-and-a-half length win over long-time leader Fictitious Lady Feminism the well backed 8/15f, was three lengths back in third.
Crawley said afterwards:- “She's a nice filly. She's big and she's almost 17 hands.
“She was green the last day, she sat in the stalls, and she came on a good bit from that.
“She's very well bred, she's a half-sister to Teresa Mendoza (runner-up in Group 3 Round Tower) and Royal Ascot winner Tactical is under the second dam.
“I'm hoping I can get a bit of black-type to make a broodmare out of her.
“That's the first horse the (All The Right Faces) Syndicate have had with me so I suppose we got lucky.”
