Belle Of The Ball is light on her feet Cork's opener was the Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden over five furlongs and it resulted in a decisive success for Belle Of The Ball. An easy to back 3/1 joint-favourite (from an opening quote of 13/8 in the show), the daughter of Mohaather was quickly into stride and made all under Shane Foley, asserting over a furlong out before stretching clear to post a four-length victory over Sirocco Sands. Richie Galway was on hand to represent winning trainer Jessica Harrington and reported "She has worked well all spring and had a nice run in the Curragh although we find it strange, given her pedigree, that she is as quick as she is. It is an all-staying pedigree but she shows speed and is quick out of stalls. "She has been sharp in all her work and Jessie was keen to run over five (furlongs), with the way she raced at the Curragh. She has surprised us as we didn't think she'd be as early as she is. "On pedigree, she should want to go a mile-plus and has a good attitude and is good physically. "Ourselves (namely OMEGA RACING), Jason Morris whose daughter Belle gives this filly her name, and an American friend of mine Russell Jones own her in partnership so it is great to pick up the (€50,000 Goffs) bonus too. It is nice to get a winning two-year-old, as they had been running well without winning." Additional reporting by Tom Weekes
