WINNER: Last to first for Molly as she becomes Ursa winner 40!

Sometimes horse racing can leave you speechless. Today was one of those days.

Just weeks after Mr Hailstone won at Chepstow having been tailed off, Made of Lir missed the break over 6f at Ripon before storming home to win in stunning fashion.

She became our 11th winner of 2023 and 40th in total.

She was given a beautiful ride by young claimer Connor Planas and huge credit goes to Sam England and her team who have worked hard to get Molly back in winning form.

The race looked all but over in the opening stages, with Mol not being straightforward at the stalls and she was described as being well out of contention.

But 3f out she began to take off, coming home a more than worthy winner - and you would fancy her to go in again.

A 1,500 guineas purchase, it just goes to show that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a winner!
