Kindergarten knows her job to win first time out Fresh from their Group 1 win at Longchamp on Sunday, Jessica Harrington and Shane Foley were back in the winners' enclosure after debutant Kindergarten took the opening Navan Racing Festival 15th & 16th November Median Auction Maiden. Sent off a well backed 7/1 chance (from 16/1), the daughter of Lucky Vega broke smartly and was always up with the pace. Pushed along over a furlong out, Kindergarten came through to head Anushka 100 yards from home, staying on strongly up the hill to score by three-quarters-of-a-length from the staying on Ocean's Breath. Jessica Harrington said: "She's a lovely filly and we've always liked her. She has just taken time. It is extraordinary, I thought the Lucky Vega's would be lovely early horses and they haven't been. "She has plenty of natural speed and she's just a nice horse, a very nice filly. "Lovely actioned and she probably needs the ground a little bit better than that. "Oh yes (dream is very much alive) and he (Foley) has always liked her, but we have just taken our time with her. "We could easily be putting her away, but I want to talk to Mr Zhang and we'll see."
