Ice Empress takes Killarney opener

The opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at Killarney today saw Aidan O'Brien's Ice Empress make it tenth time lucky when making all under the stable apprentice jockey Sean Levey.

The daughter of Danehill Dancer has previously finished second twice and third three times but made no mistake today, showing the benefit of her prefious runs to produce a professional display to see off six rivals.

O'Brien was not present for the win.
