Don't Be the well-backed 2/1 favourite, signed off as a race-mare when victorious in the Listed Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Cooley Fillies Stakes at Dundalk for Mark Prescott and Luke Morris.
Eighth at San Siro last time, the five-year-old Cape Cross mare, a very progressive sort in the last year, asserted inside the final furlong, having led a furlong out, for a three length verdict over Façade.
"She stayed on well. She had won at this level and is a very smart listed filly," said Morris.
"She's retired after tonight so it's nice to bow out on a good note. She's been a good old servant."
Prescott, always a trainer due maximum respect, took this prize in 2011 with Clinical.
F.M. Berry, rider of Back On Top trained by David Wachman, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount hung left in running.
