The Willie Mullins-trained Get It Girl (4/1) was the winner of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares' Flat Race for jockey Patrick Mullins. The daughter of Jukebox Jury showed plenty of signs of greenness on debut in Thurles Racecourse last season but was much better today as she stormed home in the final furlong to win by two lengths.

Speaking after the race, rider Patrick Mullins said:

“She improved from last year. She was very green in Thurles and jumped the road twice,” said Patrick Mullins.

“I went down early today to go over the roads and she was fine.

“She was like a motorbike around the bends and we were able to stay really tight on fresh ground on the very inside.

“She was tough, she won hands and heels.

“She has a lovely pedigree, my mother bred her. She’s a half-sister to Blackstairmountain.

“She likes that very good ground and she obviously wears a tongue-strap.

“Whether we go for a winners' bumper or go jumping with her, we’ll have to decide.

“One of the girls who owns her, Emma (Lawrie), it’s her birthday (owns along with sisters Heather and Hazel). They are staying in Wexford so they’ll enjoy it.”
