Miss makes the journey pay off

Miss Faustina made the long journey from the Waterford yard of Pat Flynn worthwhile when she found the necessary when it mattered to land the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Handicap.

Danny Grant was always travelling well in the Bahrain Storm colours of Patrick Sweeney, on the inside tracking a strong pace, and the daughter of Antonius Pius led inside the last before going on to prevail by half a length over Miss Eze

Grant commented: "My one has loads of pace and the quicker they go the better for her. I was always travelling well."

Gamble of the contest Dunne Grand (8/1 this morning into 7/2 favourite) stayed on to regain third near the line.
