Ohmyviette (11/4f) followed up December’s Dundalk maiden success with a second course win today, landing the Happy Valentines Day Rated Race for trainer Willie Browne, jockey Sam Coen and owner Leidiana Marques.

The keen-going grey daughter of Sioux Nation ran around when leading inside the furlong but held on to beat Lyle The Crocodile by a neck.

Winning 7lb-claiming jockey Coen later commented "he's still learning the job, he's still green as you can see. He doesn't do a whole lot when he gets to the front, but has galloped right out to the line. He has done it well in the end.

"I think seven (furlongs) wouldn't be a bad idea for him, he is tough and gutsy.

"He is going to keep progressing and he is going to come on. It is only better he is getting."
