The first 2YO race of the year in Ireland attracted a field of 10 with the Jessica Harrington trained Ocean Quest taking the five furlong dash by a head.



“Ocean Quest had only been away once, but Shane (Foley) said she was very professional. I think she's a 6f filly,” said Jessica Harrington.

Ocean Quest is the second winner from Gold Zain, a half-sister by Aqlaam to Group winners Poetic Dream and Who Know’s.
