Impressive Fresnel gives Davison his 2nd winner Killarkin Stud, Dunboyne, County Meath-based trainer Jack Davison sent out his second winner when Fresnel (66s into 40s) took the opener at Dundalk under Gary Halpin. The Sea The Stars newcomer did this nicely from the front in the mile Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden (Plus 10 Race). Try as her rivals might they could never quite get to Fresnel, and she eventually upstaged Lady Cedar (33s into 22s) and Lovee Dovee (2/1 into 11/4) by two and a half lengths and a neck. “I'm always conscious not to push the fillies too much before we get them to the track but her work had been good,” said Davison. “Everything I'd worked her with she'd had their measure but as I said I like to leave a little bit for the track. “She showed me what I thought she was capable of here. “She's still got a little bit of growing to do. She's not the biggest, she's still not fully mature, so for her to tough it out from the front in that headwind is a testament to her. “I'd imagine she'll get a mile-and-a-half in time so we were keen to make plenty of use of her today over a mile. “We'll take her up gradually and slowly. We'll see how she recovers and take it from there. “I have my full licence about a year. I came from a breeding background then I got on the Godolphin course and really got into the training and racing side of things. “It's what really excited me. I made the decision to go down that route and worked for some good people and got some good experience. “I've got 12 in now and I'm keeping the head down and trying to get a system in place at home. It's great to see the result on the track as it gives you great confidence and belief. “It's all about winners and results and there is no better way to advertise myself and the team.” (GC & EM)
