Cogent and Coakley but only just at Cork It took a time to get all the runners in, and then the winner unseated rider after the line, but all that will matter little to connections and supporters of Miss Cogent, victorious under Ross Coakley in the opening coral.ie Best Price Guaranteed On All Irish Races E.B.F. Fillies Maiden (Plus 10 Race) at Cork. Owned and trained by Johnny Murtagh, the twice previously raced Miss Cogent went off at 11/1 to better eighth and fifth placings. At the business end she toughed it out well to get the better of odds-on, Arabian Verse, and Mayleaf Shine, by a neck and a length and a quarter. "She's a nice progressive filly and came on a huge amount from her first run to her second run and even again she has progressed. There's still plenty of room for her to come on as she is still green," reasoned Coakley. Regarding his unseat after passing the winning line, he added: "I think it was the winning post (that caused her to jink) - I was just going on the stride for the line. You're not expecting that but she has a great attitude and fought back. She should be a nice filly going forward." K. Fallon, rider of Giselle's Charm, trained by M.D. O'Callaghan, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount was outpaced early on before staying on well in the closing stages. (TW & EM)
