Auxilia confirmed the promise of her debut at Leopardstown last month by readily landing the odds in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Median Auction Maiden at Naas.

The daughter of Free Eagle was sent on early in the straight by Colin Keane, and the 1/2 favourite stretched right away in the final furlong for an easy victory.

There was a gap of five lengths back to Mere Catherine with Zoom Zoom Babe a further three and three quarter lengths away in third.

Winning trainer Ger Lyons said, “She’s a nice filly. She ran as green as any of ours have ran all summer at Leopardstown on her first start but I loved the way she hit the line.

“I would have been very disappointed if she didn’t win today’s race in that fashion. She’s a filly that wants a mile but is still very raw.

“She holds the big entries but as Colin says we’d like to have one more run in a winners’ race. For that reason we will probably miss the Debutante and go winners and then on to something like the Moyglare.

“She’s learning on the job but is not as precocious as we think she is. She is a filly we like, and is in a bracket with a few nice fillies that we have.”
