Favourite High Heels takes delayed opener in good style The Irish Stallion Farms EBF (Fillies) Maiden went to the 11/8 favourite High Heels who led over a furlong out and kept on well to score by lengths from Boyne River (14/1). The Galileo filly, a half-sister to two winners out of maiden winner and Listed-placed Charlotte Bronte, had been runner-up on her previous outing at Gowran and was getting off the mark at the third attempt. Winning rider Seamie Heffernan said of the Aidan O’Brien-trained winner: "I intended on going a good gallop but there was a good gallop on in front of me. "She is a good filly with a good action." The race was off over 20 minutes behind schedule as participants awaited the arrival of a second medical officer to the course. Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes
