Harrington's Nevada wins Gowran maiden Jessica Harrington's Sierra Nevada(USA) made all to win the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at Gowran Park. In a rare coincidence, the race also featured another Sierra Nevada(GB), the latter filly trained by Charles O'Brien. Shane Foley kept things simple on the Harrington runner, breaking quickly and getting to the lead immediately from stalls. Stepping up in trip appeared to suit the thrice raced filly who found plenty when asked for more in the straight. Any Dream Will Do kept on nicely for second, with race favourite Flash Bulb back in third. Meanwhile, the other Sierra Nevada finished eight. Jessica Harrington said, “She’s a massive filly and imagine what she will be like when she gets a bit older. She’s a half-sister to Pathfork and finally what she’s done at home she has brought to the track. “She’s a lovely mover but has been a bit slow to learn. I put her in the Kilboy (Estate Stakes) this week so I’d say that will probably be her next appointment. “I knew there were two of them (Sierra Nevada) as I’ve seen the name entered and said I haven’t entered that filly in that race!"
