Myrine leaves Ballinrobe rivals for dead

Those that availed themselves of the 13/8 on track about Myrine were on good terms with themselves from a long way out in the opening Paddy Smyth Memorial Maiden at Ballinrobe as Kevin Manning was sitting pretty in the Michael Ryan silks behind Luigina Immacolata

Manning sent the winning daughter of Sadler's Wells to the front over two furlongs out and she soon left that aforementioned rival behind, crossing the line a distance in front.

Bought by her owner, Al Eile Stud at Tattersalls for 240,000 guineas as a yearling in 2007, the half-sister to Sagamix and Sagacity was Jim Bolger's first winner at the track since Arellano scored at the Western venue in May 2001.

Ger Flynn, representing Bolger, said: "She has her winning bracket now. We'll see how the handicapper treats her."
