Racing: David Wachman is already looking forward to next season with Again following her triumph in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh.
The juvenile was sent off the 6-4 favourite for the Group One contest, having impressed in the Debutante Stakes at Leopardstown last time.
But with regular pilot Wayne Lordan serving a suspension, Seamus Heffernan climbed into the saddle.
Travelling strongly throughout, the daughter of Danehill Dancer made smooth headway early in the straight and showed a game attitude in the closing stage to repel the late surge of Shimah by half a length.
The winner was hanging into the runner-up slightly inside the final furlong and although the stewards decided to stage an inquiry, the placings remained unaltered.
A delighted Wachman said: "She's a nice filly and Seamie gave her a great ride. "I was very concerned this run may have come a bit too quickly for her, but she did it really nicely.
"She's really a horse for next year because she's still big and weak — she's going to make an exciting three-year-old. I feel sorry for Wayne Lordan, who does all her home-work and is suspended, but Seamie's the super-sub."
Bookmakers gave Maoineach an opening quote of 25-1 for the 1000 Guineas after she made a successful debut in the Go And Go Round Tower Stakes.
Always travelling strongly in the hands of Kevin Manning, Jim Bolger's 14-1 chance was brought wide of the field to challenge two furlongs from home in the Group Three affair.
She soon began to pull away from her rivals and passed the post a length and a quarter clear of Silver Shoon.
Bolger said: "She did it well and the Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp (October 5th) is now a possibility. She is not entered in the other big races, so that would be the plan at the moment."
Bolger had every chance of following up with Finsceal Beo in the Dance Design Stakes — but the hot favourite could manage only a disappointing third.
Last year's dual 1000 Guineas winner has failed to get her head in front this season and although travelling well through the early stages of this Listed event, she never really threatened at the business end.
The winner Beach Bunny (3-1) was never far off the pace under Chris Hayes and powered away inside the final two furlongs to comfortably score from Deauville Vision.
Patrick Prendergast's Tis Mighty got off the mark for the campaign with a cosy success in the Hacketts EBF Irish Cambridgeshire. The 16-1 chance had not won since last June but settled nicely for claiming jockey Emmet McNamara.
Tis Mighty was still hard on the bridle as the field approached the furlong marker and showed a willing response to score by a length from Amarama.
British challenger Zero Tolerance ran well for a long way but just weakened into third in the closing stages.
Prendergast said: "She's been fearfully unlucky, but she loves the Curragh and I told the owners that I really fancied her. The ball hasn't been bouncing for me, though, so they backed her and I didn't.
"The filly is not mad keen on travelling so we'll keep her local — but I wouldn't mind if that was her last run of the year."
