Va Va Vroom powers home under Foley

After her fast-finishing debut second to a useful type at Gowran Park, Va Va Vroom was sent off 1/2 favourite for the Irish EBF Auction Series Maiden and landed the odds with the minimum of fuss.

Shane Foley was keen to be prominent on Sheikh Hamed Dalmook Al Maktoum's daughter of Bated Breath and soon settled her in second. Pushed along to lead over a furlong out, she was ridden out to beat Broski by three and a quarter lengths.

“She did it in good style, which was great and she's a lovely filly,” said trainer Jessica Harrington.

“She's a fine big strong filly. I'm delighted with that. She's still learning on the job.

“We've got some nice entries, she's in the Debutante and has an entry in France. She's also got a Moyglare entry as well.

“Stepping up to a mile will be no problem to her.”
