Review BALLINROBE 22nd Jul

Jockeys' title leader Fran Berry made full use of Zamiyla s stamina as the Aga Khan's filly landed the Yolanda O'Gorman Memorial Maiden.

The grey daughter of Daylami, second to Ballydoyle runners on both previous outings, was sent on from the start and led for the whole of the 12-furlong trip.< Papadopoli and Yummy Mummy tucked in behind her, but the former was giving out distress signals three furlongs out and as Berry wound it up from the front on John Oxx's charge, nothing else got into the race.
