Aurora Princess sprang the latest surprise of a colourful career winning Limerick's Every Irish Race Live On Racing TV Handicap (div I) today at 25/1, for a fourth success, all under jockey Scott McCullagh.
The Jessica Harrington trained filly was mistaken for unraced stablemate Alizarine when 'winning' a Galway festival juvenile maiden last July, before subsequent disqualification, and was today adding a 25/1 success to her 50/1 first win at Leopardstown last June.
McCullagh today produced the filly to lead near the line, for a neck win, and afterwards said “she dropped back two furlongs to a mile today but that was her ground and is very genuine and wants to win.
“She got tired the last day having ran keen from a wide draw and the fast pace, with the visor on, helped today. Hopefully there'll be more to come from her and it is nice to get another winner for Mrs Harrington.”
