Redstone Dancer signed off her racing career in the best possible way with victory in the feature Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Brownstown Stakes at Leopardstown last night.

The five-year-old mare is in foal to Refuse To Bend but impending motherhood certainly seems to suit as she notched a second win in four days.

Sheena Collins' charge lifted a seven-furlong handicap at the Curragh last Saturday but she made her quick reappearance pay with a valuable victory in the Group Three contest.

Sakkara Star set out to make all but she was swallowed up turning into the straight as both She's Our Mark and Modeeroch challenged.

However, neither had any answer to Redstone Dancer's final thrust as she came home two and a half lengths clear of She's Our Mark.

British raider Wake Up Maggie was sent off the 9 to 10 favourite but she could finish no better than fourth.

Collins said: "She's in foal to Refuse To Bend so we only have six weeks left. She's unlikely to run again now though."

Bruges made a mockery of his outsider tag as he swooped late and fast in the Listed Golden Fleece Stakes. David Myerscough's charge was sent off a 12 to 1 chance, the longest-priced of the five runners, but he was always travelling well in the hands of Niall McCullagh in the seven-furlong event.

Kieren Fallon set out to make all aboard the 6 to 5 favourite Minneapolis and he was still in front with 200 yards to run before Bruges swept through and pulled two lengths clear. Going Public also finished to good effect, just getting up to pip Minneapolis for second place by a head.

Myerscough said: "We thought he was a good horse and he has handled the ground well. He will go for the Tyros Stakes (at Leopardstown on July 28th) in a few weeks time now."

Westlake opened his account at the fourth time of asking in the Byerley Racing Maiden. Dermot Weld's charge is a full brother to Powerscourt and he was sent off the 1 to 3 favourite under Pat Smullen in the 12-furlong event.

The Sadler's Wells colt came home a length and a half clear of Farmer Brown and survived the subsequent stewards' inquiry.
