Group One second placer I Can Fly (a 1 to 3 chance) returned to action with a bang in the Get A Run For Your Money With BetVictor Fillies Race at Dundalk.
The 116-rated four-year-old daughter of Fastnet Rock, on her comeback off a 123 day break, eased away in the final furlong under Ryan Moore to beat Surrounding by eight lengths.
I Can Fly actually began her career with a course and distance success in September 2017.
Winning trainer Aidan O’Brien said: “I’m delighted with her. She’s a lovely filly and it’s great to get her started. Our plan is to go to Dubai with her for the nine-furlong (Grade 1 Dubai Turf) if she gets invited.
“She won her maiden here and handles the surface well. She’s a lovely straight forward filly and I couldn’t be happier.”
