Dame Kyteler comes home a comfortable winner under Shane Foley© Photo Healy Racing
Dame Kyteler made it an across the card treble for Jessica Harrington, as she made the breakthrough in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
Seventh on her sole start as a juvenile, the daughter of Acclamation ran a nice race to finish fifth on her return to action at Leopardstown in April.
Expected to get off the mark this evening, the Nore Racing Syndicate & Adolf Schneider owned bay was sent off the even money favourite under Shane Foley (completing a quick double).
Prominent early, the bay victor was soon settled behind the leaders and was slightly impeded entering the straight.
She was pushed along to lead over a furlong out and kept on well under pressure from there, going on to score by two and a half lengths. Call Me Dolly (16/1) finished second under Gary Carroll for Gavin Cromwell, while Designation (13/8) was another three lengths back in third.
Kate Harrington said afterwards: "We always liked her last year but we had to get her wind done and she took ages to get back after it. It is great to get her head in front today.
"That ground was far too quick for her and she'll be a much better filly on slower ground."
Jessica Harrington earlier took the opener with Cayenne Pepper while she also struck in the first at Bellewstown with Millisle
STEWARDS REPORT
The Stewards enquired into an incident rounding the home bend involving Call Me Dolly, ridden by G.F. Carroll, Dame Kyteler, ridden by S. Foley and Russian Vine ridden by M.A. Gallagher, where it appeared that Dame Kyteler and Call Me Dolly checked. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that the incident was accidental in nature and they therefore took no further action.
