TEENAGER Evan McAuliffe of Athlacca – with Drombeg Pearl – was a popular winner of the €10,000 Galway Oaks at the weekend.

Seeking a hat trick of wins from trap three, ‘Pearl’ was her usual reliable self at traprise as she pinged out to dispute the early exchanges and gain the all-important rail to win in a time of 28.70 seconds (525 yards).
