The Jessica Harrington trained Kabjoy overcame a bout of the seconditis virus to win the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at Limerick today, under capable claimer Conor Hoban.

The daughter of Intikhab, runner-up on each of her last three starts, outbattled 10/11 favourite Red Raven inside the final furlong for a head win.

Harrington was absent but Hoban later stated “she's lazy but they went quick enough up front and she was entitled to her win after hitting the crossbar a few times. I'm sure connections will see what the handicapper does with her but Mrs Harrington will know where to place her.”
