< She's Our Mark flew from last to first to prove a 12-furlong trip held no fears for her in the feature Give Thanks Stakes at Cork.
Picking up her third career Group Three victory with her first success at the distance, the Pat Flynn-trained six-year-old (4-1) was held up in rear by Danny Grant and had plenty to do on the turn into the straight.
But she put in a sweeping run down the outside to catch Leo Gali half a furlong out and go clear for a length-and-a-half victory, with favourite Zarebiya a close-up third.
It completed a double for Grant, who was always prominent before John Murphy's juvenile Foolproof (11-2) took command a furlong out in the Navigation Road Nursery to win by three-quarters of a length.
British raider St Moritz looked sure to take a hand in the finish of the Platinum Stakes when he ranged up to challenge Famous in the straight, but the pair of them faded towards the end of the Listed contest.
The David Wachman-trained Hen Night (10-1), who was never far off the pace, swept past inside the final furlong under Wayne Lordan and held the running-on Maybe Grace by two and a half lengths.
Galway king Dermot Weld drew a blank on the last day of the Festival, but he was on the mark at Cork with the Pat Smullen-ridden Palm Ridge (6-4 favourite), who led in the final furlong and held Slade by a cosy length and three-quarters in the Mitchelstown Maiden.< Katla (9-4) stepped up on the promise of her two placed efforts to take the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden under Billy Lee, leading a furlong and a half out to beat Jamesie by a length and a quarter.
There were plenty in with a chance entering the final furlong in the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap and it was Patrickswell (10-1), with the rail to help, who squeezed home by a short head.
