Mine wins in a canter at Cork

Only Mine has trainer Joe Murphy dreaming of bigger targets ahead after easily justifying prohibitive odds in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Cork.

The Joe Murphy-trained filly had showed plenty of promise on both previous outings at the Curragh, notably when runner-up to Most Beautiful in the Group 3 Grangecon Stud Stakes on Irish Derby weekend.

Pat Smullen kept things simple on the 2/5 favourite by making all and just pushing her out to score by a length and a half. Diamond Fields took the runner-up spot with Shoellen another length away in third, and the trio finished well clear of the remainder.

Murphy said, "There was fierce talk about Stack's runner (Diamond Fields) and I do believe it as I'd say she is very good, but this filly is exceptional.

"She cruised and did that very easily and I promise you she is very good. She'll run in the Debutante, Moyglare and is also in the Cheveley Park Stakes. There are exciting times ahead with her."
