Panama Red off the mark for Lyons & Keane Panama Red (7/2) was very professional on her third start and won the Camas Park Stud Irish EBF Fillies Maiden by a length and a half from the 5/2 favourite History. Previously fourth in good maidens at Gowran and the Curragh, the daughter of Showcasing was close to the pace throughout under Coloin Keane and, once hitting the front over a furlong out, she stayed on well to put her seal on the race. 40/1 outsider Brazilian Surprise showed promise in third. The winner cost 70,000 guineas as a yearling and is from the family of French Derby winner Anabaa Blue. Shane Lyons, assistant to winning trainer Ger Lyons, said: “Colin is adamant that she wants an extra furlong when she strengthens up. We are delighted to get the bracket out of the way and she will go for the Listed Ingabelle Stakes at Leopardstown on Champions Weekend. “Colin said she is still a bit weak so if she gets black type it’s a bonus but it’s all about next year. “That ground (good to yielding, good in places) is as slow as she wants it. It walks on the slow side and it definitely rides a bit slower which is hard to believe.” Quotes from Alan Magee
