Listowel festival victory for Famous Milly

After a promising handicap debut at Galway, Famous Milly stepped up to take the featured Irish Stallion Farms EBF Premier Nursery on day two of the Listowel festival, for Gavin Cromwell and jockey Rory Cleary.

Held up for much of the trip, she made progress turning in, and got up late to collar Youarewonder.

“I thought she was good enough to win a maiden, and we were taking a chance running her from five pounds out of the handicap, but if she didn’t win we always had the option of going back for a maiden,” said Cromwell.
