Newcomer Miss Me Now justified strong market support in the bumper at Sligo, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Flat Race, as she ran out a comfortable winner in the colours of Blue Blood Racing Club.
The Willie Mullins (completing a double after Renetti won the second) trained five-year-old daughter of Presenting was available at odds against earlier in the day but she opened on-course at 8/11 before going off the clear 8/15 favourite.
Sent straight into the lead by Patrick Mullins she raced wide as they entered the straight for the final time.
She was soon ridden to extend her advantage and she kept on well in the closing stages to win by ten lengths. Ma Garrett finished second at 11/4 under Steven Clements for John Nicholson while Musical Dame was twenty lengths back in third.
Patrick Mullins said in the aftermath: "She is well-bred. The boss, my grandfather, had the dam Miss Toulon.
"She did that very well. I think she liked the bit of a cut in the ground and the bit of a trip. I knew she stays so I didn't hang around with her. I think the syndicate will have a lot of fun with her.
"I'd imagine she might go for a hurdle now, she stays very well, stamina is her strong point."
STEWARDS REPORT
The Stewards fined W.P. Mullins, trainer, €350 for lodging a passport in respect of Miss Me Now, in which the vaccinations did not conform with the provisions of Rule 91. The Stewards allowed the horse to run on receipt of the trainer's written assurance that the vaccinations were in order.
