Trainer Paddy Twomey’s plan to win a Group 3 with lightly-raced Pearls Galore came to fruition when the Invincible Spirit filly captured the Brownstown Stakes in Fairyhouse.

Sent off 15/8 favourite, she confidently handled by Billy Lee and, when produced to challenge, knuckled down well to see off Valeria Messalina by two lengths, with Bipartisanship faring best of the three-year-olds in third spot.
