Laws Of Indices came home best to win a thrilling colts and geldings auction maiden over an extended five furlongs in Navan.

He was ridden by Billy Lee in the centre of the track to try and close on the leaders a furlong and a half from home.

The Power colt made headway into third at the furlong marker but still had work to do to collar the leader The Blue Panther and a rallying Street Kid in second.

Laws Of Indices (3/1) hit top gear in the closing stages and stormed home down the outside to pip Street Kid (7/1) by a short head in the final strides.

The Blue Panther (10/11f) was a neck away on the inner in third.

Ken Condon said: “There will be plenty of winners come out of the race he ran in at Naas.

“We liked him at home and he was ready to run early. He was very raw the first day and I'd say it will be another run or two before we see the best of him.

“Billy said 100 yards down he was going to be third but he stayed on well. He pulled him out to see if he could get him rolling and it had the opposite effect, he was starey and raw.

“Where he goes next I'm not quite sure. He's a nice horse, a good looker and he was well bought by connections.

“The framing of this race worked out for him with the weight allowances.”

Laws Of Indices was ninth on debut at Naas earlier in the month.
