Annagh Haven battles her way to victory
Annagh Haven, right, beats Oceania Queen in Down Royal

The two outsiders in the five runner fillies' handicap at Down Royal fought out a tremendous finish with Annagh Haven coming out on the right side of a photo. Oceania Queen (6/1) made a brave bid for glory from the front but she was worn down in the final furlong and pipped on the line by Annagh Haven (13/2) who took the honours by a short head.
Michael Mulvany said: "That was long overdue It's not that she is not honest, she kept finding one too good. It they were all as honest as her in the yard you'd be delighted.
"We've probably been running her over a bit far in her last few runs. That's her real trip. She's entered up in the mares' hurdle at Galway but whether or not we go for it we'll see."
There was a nine and a half length gap back to 9/4 favourite Colour Rhapsody in third.
Michael Mulvany's brother Laurence owns Annagh Haven. This was the five-year-old's second career success. She previously won a Gowran Park handicap over a mile and a half in September last year.
