Brostaigh (10/1) landed the Listed Sole Power Sprint Stakes in the hands of Dylan Browne McMonagle.
A close fourth in a similar contest at Cork earlier in the month, the daughter of Footstepsinthesand was always prominent and stayed far side as the other runners came over to race towards the stands’ side. The winner gradually came across as she gave chase to Geocentric and got past that one inside the final furlong. The chestnut filly went way to win by a length and a half from Logo Hunter who relegated Geocentric to third.
Winning trainer Joseph O'Brien, completing a quick double after Igraine s maiden hurdle win at Killarney, said: "Her maidens have worked out pretty well and she had a really good run the last day in Cork.
“We were going to run in the Lacken but this race cut up and I thought we had a better chance of sneaking third here.
“She improved a bit more than I thought and probably improved for the drop back to five as well.
“She's a well-bred filly from a fast family. She'll run away in fillies sprints for the year but that's job done, a stakes winner.”
