"She's bred very well - her mother won a Grade 1, Feathard Lady, and who knows she might be as good as her," said Patrick Mullins after he glided home on the hugely impressive Augusta Kate (6/5 favourite) in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares (Pro/Am) INH Flat Race at Listowel.

The record-breaking amateur then added: "She's a funny type at home. She doesn't maybe do a whole lot but Ruby (Walsh) gave her a bit of work last week and he said there's lots under the bonnet. She just keeps it until she really needs it."

The victorious Yeats four-year-old was always on the pace, she led three furlongs out, and she streaked away over the closing couple of furlongs to defeat L'Atmosphere by no less than twenty three lengths.

Willie Mullins, doubling up after his win with Gangster earlier, said: "She's obviously alot better on the race track as in her work at home she was just staying on. She showed gears there today that she hasn't showed at home.

"I'm not sure where she will go next. She could go for the mares bumper at Navan, and she could go hurdling this season. We will have to have a think about it.

"There are seven in the Masters Syndicate. Ant and Dec, Chubby Chandler, Lee Westwood, Alan Shearer and Graham and Andrea Wylie."
