All In The Mind makes the breakthrough on ninth start All In The Mind deservedly made the breakthrough in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden. Placed twice from seven starts last year, the Alhebayeb gelding went down by just a head on his most recent outing at Leopardstown. Sent off the 15/8 second favourite this evening, from 9/4, the 79 rated bay was settled behind the leaders by Conor Hoban, coming with his challenge on the outer from the two furlong pole. Pushed along to lead over a furlong out, he was soon ridden clear, going on to score easily by three-and-a-quarter lengths. Newcomer Winforglory (100/1) ran on nicely to take second under Gavin Ryan for Pat Murphy, while the Dermot Weld trained Kaliyista, who was sent off the 13/8 favourite, was a neck back in third. "The way he's improving I'm thinking his next race will be in the Jersey Stakes. He's won apologising and if he improves again he's entitled to take his chance," Flynn said. "Last year he ran some brilliant races and I should have put him away. I said we'll get a win now but he weakened off. "He had the winter off and now he's turning into a horse. He's improving with every run." Additional reporting by Alan Magee
