Harrington filly Sails in to Lift Bellewstown finale The Jessica Harrington trained Lifting Sails made virtually all the running under Shane Foley to easily win the concluding Natures Best Maiden at Bellewstown. Placed on her two previous starts, the daughter of Raven's Pass was sent off a well backed 4/5f to make it third time lucky. Soon at the head of affairs, Foley set perfect fractions, before asking his mount to extend over two-furlongs from home. Skipping clear with more than a furlong to race, the market leader had matters well in control before being eased right down close home to score by four lengths. Jessica Harrington said: "The step up in trip and we have just been waiting. We didn't really want to come here, but there are so few mile and a-half maidens. "We have got a couple of fillies that have been waiting for a little bit of an ease. "She did it great, she's a lovely filly and she will be a lovely filly next year. "She is getting stronger. Shane said he thought she struggled a little bit in the Curragh on soft ground, but today she didn't struggle at all. He thinks since the last day she has got stronger which is great."
