After his win with Just Wonderful in the Group Two Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket earlier, Aidan O'Brien completed a cross-country double in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden (Plus 10 Race) at Dundalk with Frosty
Seamie Heffernan rode the grey first-timer, a sister to Winter (four time Group One winner at three) and they are out of Laddies Poker Two who won a Wokingham.
O'Brien also had Credenza in the mix and that 7/4 market leader finished third under Donnacha O'Brien after making the pace.
Meanwhile 9/1 hope Frosty tracked the leaders, and she was fourth at the halfway stage.
Switched out to challenge the victor was slightly hampered a furlong and a half out, and she was pushed along to dispute under a furlong out.
Frosty then led narrowly in the final hundred and fifty yards, keeping on well close home, to cosily upstage Fancy Feat by a length.
"She's a lovely filly and gave me a nice feel. I hope she's as good as her sister," said Heffernan.
R.P. Whelan, rider of Mosh trained by P.J.Prendergast, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount never travelled.
R.P. Cleary, rider of Silver Pass trained by Lee Smyth, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount hung badly.
