Kilkenny success in Cork

KILKENNY BABY, the only unbeaten runner in the event going into the decider, duly came up trumps in the final of the McCarthy Insurance Group Cork Oaks at Curraheen Park on Saturday night.

The James Roche trained bitch took a flier from traps and led into the bend ahead of Mossend Cait.

The latter drifted wide between bends, allowing Tyrur Footsteps take up the chase. Both she and the strong finishing Late Delivery had every chance afterwards but Kilkenny Baby had too much resolution for the pair and at the line had a length to spare over Late Delivery.
