FRANKEL filly Believed (9/4 favourite) provided trainer Johnny Murtagh and jockey Ben Coen with feature race success at Cork on Friday, landing the Group 3 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Give Thanks Stakes for owners Qatar Racing.

Placed third in Royal Ascot’s King George V Stakes in June, Believed was held up in rear in Friday’s eight-runner race and, having made headway in the home straight, improved to lead in the final strides, when scoring by a half-length from Amelia Earhart.
