Break My Mind makes right headlines

Break My Mind has been in the news in the past for the wrong reasons but she pleased many this evening by landing the Follow Fairyhouse On Twitter Fillies Maiden.
Of course the Nayef filly unseated trainer Eddie Lynam's daughter Sarah in a horrible incident at the Galway Festival.
Last time at the Harvest meeting in Listowel Break My Mind was an unlucky loser getting tightened up on the inside when going for a run before the straight. Billy Lee also lost his whip in the final furlong on that occasion when coming up three parts of a length short in second behind Asbury Boss.
This wasn't lost on punters who supported the three-year-old, owned by bookmaker Justin Carthy, from around 3/1 this morning into 6/4 favouritism.
Those involved in the punt may have been worried as front runner Lettre De Cachet made the best of her way home in the straight.
Break My Mind eventually led inside the final furlong and she went on to beat her aforementioned pace-setting rival by a length and a half.
"She was a bit green when she got there but will make a nice staying type for next year," said Lee. (AM & EM)
