KIERAN Cotter may have got himself a bargain when he gave €10,000 for a three-year-old daughter of Flemensfirth at the Goffs Land Rover Sale in June. She was then a full-sister to two runners that had been placed in black.type races, but now the younger of that pair, Emile Gray, won a listed race at Carlisle at the weekend, beating the Willie Mullins hotpot Gitane Du Berlais.

Pride Of the Parish and Emily Gray are two racecourse winners for their unraced Jupiter Island dam Rose Island. She also bred the multiple winning point-to-pointer Roseyroo and the Mahler five-year-old Sussex Road who was runner-up recently and will likely go on and win.
