Miss Gossip made it third time lucky when claiming the seven-furlong median auction maiden at Leopardstown this evening.
Niall McCullagh bounced out in front on Jessica Harrington's charge and she kept on well in the closing stages for a half length victory.
The Big Bad Bob filly was asked to quicken a furlong-and-a-half from home and was always holding 2/1 favourite Hazamar who stayed on in the final furlong.
The 4/1 winner had been third on her two previous starts, at the Curragh last time, and here on her debut.
"She had the two runs which probably stood her in good stead and she knew what she was doing today," said Harrington.
"I just said to Niall to keep it simple. She stays really well and has the experience so we might as well use it.
"She's in the Silver Flash next week and I also put her in the Debutante as I thought she was quite smart.
"I thought the bit of ease helped her although she has also gone on good to firm."
