Raffa rules in Laurels
By Kinloch Brae, out of Rafa Baby, who was a litter sister to Rossa Baby and a half-sister to former Cork Oaks winner Maireads Fantasy, he was an easy-to-back 2-1 favourite but there was never uneasiness in his performance.
In execution it was straightforward: drawn in trap two, he broke well enough to prevent any potential infringement from habitual fast starter Knocktoo Garry and, in doing so, ensured a clear path to the first bend.
