Seamus Heffernan out of the doldrums with a Dundalk double
Runner-up to Don’t Be in a listed event over course and distance last time, but an uneasy 4/7 favourite, the lightly-raced Galileo filly Façade earned a valuable winning bracket when proving two lengths superior to market rival Eagle Valley in the one-mile Big Bad Bob Fillies Maiden. She had to be hard ridden to challenge but, ultimately, won emphatically.
Heffernan, who partnered the filly to victory for his boss Aidan O’Brien, explained: “I was on the best horse in the race. It was a steering-job and she won like a favourite should.
