Passionate skills bring a victory at Killarney

She absolutely blasted up the Celtic Steps Handicap at Killarney with such passion that it became a parade.

In the last quarter of a mile, she surged to the lead and quickly put pressure on her competitors. A furlong out, the 9/2 chance was easily swept in by six lengths. Position Green finished third at 13/2, three-quarters of a length behind Kodiac Prince (5/1).

Andy Slattery said: "She had her problems when she was in (Fozzy) Stack's, but Andrew (Slattery, jockey) liked her and recently she had been working well - although I didn't want to win six lengths! She should have won in Gowran last Wednesday as she was tailed off coming down the hill, but ran on (in second) and I couldn't believe how she was beaten. She is also in Leopardstown on Friday, but we'll have to see how she is."
