Jim Bolger's Radharcnafarraige market herself down as an exciting filly to follow when careering to victory in the Coolmore Stud Fillies' Stakes at Naas.
Bolger took the Group Three prize with Cuis Ghaire in 2008 and this year's winner could hardly have been more impressive.
Keen through the early stages under Kevin Manning, the 2-1 favourite sat on the outside of the leaders and put the race to bed with a blistering turn of foot one furlong out.< Emerald Ring stuck on for second but was three lengths in arrears as the winner flew passed the post.
Bolger and Manning were on the mark again when Kitty Kiernan (8-1) landed the Bill & Avril Whitehead Memorial Race.
Without success since her debut win over Lillie Langtry last May, she was bounced out in front and saw off the challenge of Emulous to record a one and a quarter-length triumph.
Dermot Weld continued his fine run of form when saddling Oor Jock to win the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race.
In what looked a warm juvenile contest, the winner was sent off at 7-1 on the back of a moderate debut run at Gowran but he was much sharper this time.
Pat Smullen sent the colt straight to the front and he found plenty for pressure, ultimately coming home one and three quarter-lengths clear of Eastern Light < Miss Gorica (9-2) opened her account in Listed company in the Naas Sprint Stakes.
Joanna Morgan's mare gained revenge over recent Cork conqueror Rain Delayed
The pair had it between them from three out and there was only a head seperating them at the line.
A three-way photo finish to the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap saw Patrick Flynn's Inishtearaght (9-2) edge the spoils by the narrowest of margins, while the Edward Lynam-trained Jembatt (8-1) took the Paul Byrne Memorial Handicap under Fran Berry.
