Kodilicious was a 12/1 winner of the Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden under Shane Foley.
Quietly fancied on her debut when down the field at Navan in May, she tracked the leaders before being sent to go and win her race off the home turn and was ridden out to beat odds-on market leader Rebel Diamond by a length and three-quarters.
The daughter of Kodi Bear is trained by Jessica Harrington for It's All About The Girls, a syndicate which enjoyed Galway festival success last weekend with Ballybrit nursery winner Lady O.
"She's a grand filly," said Foley.
"Seanie Byrne has done a great job with her at home because she's not simple, she was hardy since she was a two-year-old.
"We knew she'd enjoy this slow ground and she was only ready to start in Navan, we didn't knock her about because mentally she's not there yet.
"Mrs Harrington gave her plenty of time. She jumped and travelled and has plenty of pace. I was left in front sooner than ideal and she got a bit lonely in front but toughed it well.
