A WEEK that will conclude with Romanised’s bid for Group 1 glory in France got off to the perfect start for Ken Condon as Celtic Beauty did exactly what her form entitled her to by outclassing her rivals in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race.

There were no previous winners in the line up for this five-furlong affair, but in any case the Billy Lee-ridden Celtic Beauty stood out a mile on the form that carried her to a runner-up finish in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot. The David Kelly-owned filly wasn’t at her best when journeying to Newmarket last month, but she put the record straight with a stylish display.
