Dickinson dominant in Loughbrown

Emily Dickinson powered clear in the closing stages to run out an impressive winner of the Comer Group International Loughbrown Stakes at the Curragh this afternoon.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained filly, sixth behind Emily Upjohn at Ascot on her previous outing, went to post a 5/2 shot on her first try at two miles in the Group 3 contest.

Seamie Heffernan held his mount up in the early stages before making ground turning for home.

The daughter of Dubawi, and Irish Oaks winner Chicquita, hit the front a furlong from home and soon settled matters as she galloped on strongly to post a five-and-a-half win over Baron Samedi

“She obviously gets the trip very well and handles the ground,” said O'Brien.

“She ran a serious race the last day when she came home very strong.

“We'll see what the lads want to do but there is a chance she could stay in training next year.

“She has a lot of class going that trip and could be a serious Cup filly, she could be a very serious four-year-old stepping up in distance.

“Seamus gave her a lovely ride and was very patient with her."
