Ostatnia

The Willie McCreery trained Ostatnia ran out the well backed and game winner of the Group Discounts At Dundalk Stadium Maiden at Dundalk this evening, scoring under Bill Lee.
Backed from 9/4 generally this morning into 6/4 favouritism, the half sister to high class sprinter Osterhase battled well inside the final two furlongs to eventually edge a head win over Zaindera
"She doesn't know she's a sprinter yet but she's an out-and-out five furlong filly" said McCreery.
"She deserved her win and Billy said she was idling in front the whole way up the straight and with the other horse (Zaindera) leaning in he couldn't get a slap into her.
"She'll be a proper sprinter next year. Her brother was a fair horse and it would be great if we can have as much fun with her.
"I'd day that surface was a little bit firm for her."
