Diamonds sparkles for the Girls Diamonds And Dames powered clear in the closing stages to run out an impressive winner of the Irish EBF Auction Series Race Final at Naas for Jessica Harrington. Shane Foley got a nice run up the rail to lead under two furlongs from home on the 13/2 shot and she kicked clear passing the furlong pole. Foley could afford to ease up close home as the Churchill filly posted a six-length win over long-time leader Banks Of The Boyne. “She was very good. She’s a nice filly, she’s grown a lot,” said Harrington, who was winning the race for the third time in five years. “Shane was a little bit worried about the ground, because he says it’s tacky. She was lucky, she was drawn one and she got on the new bit of ground. “Watching the replay when he hits her she actually wobbles on to the rail but then she got going and she absolutely flew. “She quickened up better than anything. To win that race by six lengths is great. “I’d say we’ll put her away for the year. We’ll talk to Patrick Cooper, who bought her, and see what happens. “She got seven furlongs there and we might look at some sort of (classic) trial in the spring. “The (It’s All About The Girls) syndicate has been going for ten years now. They had a lunch before racing a lot of them are here today.”
