Legend makes the breakthrough Divine Legend gained a deserved success, after a couple of runner-up efforts, when taking the Kilminfoyle House Stud Fillies Maiden at Fairyhouse for Johnny Murtagh. Ben Coen produced his mount to grab front-runner Almeiyda passing the furlong pole and she stuck on well in the closing stages. The 9/4 joint favourite went on to score by a length-and-a-half with 125/1 shot Orellana staying on to take second. “We’re delighted with that, she’s been running very consistently and this looked like a good fit today,” said Murtagh. “She was staying on well the last day over a mile, but Ben said she’d have no problem dropping back, she has a bit of speed. “It’s job done today, she’s a homebred, so it was important to get that bracket. “We’ll sit down and see. We’ll probably give her one more run before the year is out, and then decide what’s going to happen next year. “She’s a fine big filly, by Blue Point, and I think there is still a bit to come.”
