Joyce & Foley on the mark with Florida Florida Times got off the mark on the second time of asking as she took the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden. A good second on her debut over the course and distance earlier this month, the Adrian Joyce trained filly went off at 11/2 today. Prominent throughout under Shane Foley, she was pushed along in second over two furlongs out. She was ridden and hit the front with a furlong left to go, staying on well from there to score by a length and a quarter. Newcomer Court Queen (4/1) finished second under Chris Hayes for Fozzy Stack, while the 8/13 favourite Pious Alexander was a disappointing third, with Pat Smullen in the saddle for Eddie Lynam. Adrian Joyce said afterwards: "She's a good filly - I was surprised with her the last day as I haven't had her away from the yard much but I was expecting her to do well today. "I'd say she's above average after that and I'd say she'll improve. "I've no race in mind and I'll probably be lucky to hold on to her as the owner might want to sell her. She's probably for sale if we get enough for her. She was green still today and wouldn't want it any quicker than today." Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes
