In My Teens takes finale in runaway fashion In My Teens returned to form in impressive fashion when taking the €100,000 Dubai Duty Free Irish EBF Ragusa Handicap in runaway style at the Curragh. The Gavin Cromwell-trained filly quickened between horses to lead under two furlongs out and soon took command in this 1m4f event. Gary Carroll’s mount stretched further clear inside the final furlong to beat This Songisforyou by seven lengths with The Real Screamer a further length and three-quarters away in third. “She’s a talented filly but not straightforward. She’s quite keen and forward going,” said Carroll. “Today everything just fell right. I thought they went hard, I got into a lovely position and she relaxed. “Two down I had to give her a squeeze to get through a gap and she took off. She’s a good filly when she does that and then when she does things wrong she goes the other way. “It’s great to get that, I probably won too far but I think she’s a filly that will have no problem stepping into black-type races when conditions suit and the race falls her way. “Plan A worked out perfectly. It’s great to get it on a day like this, and a big pot. It’s fantastic.” Quotes by Gary Carson
