A record crowd of 40,984 people arrived in Punchtown this afternoon to watch the honeymoon and the birth of the bright horse.
The Henry de Bromhead-trained mare was the winner of three lengths against the Echoes in the Rain (18/1) and Daraso (33/1) was 4 longer behind in third place.
Honeysuckle tracked third-place race leaders for most of the race and climbed to challenge two. Rachel Blackmore-Ryden ran the horse firmly in the run-in and kept three lengths between herself and the rest of the field as she extended her unbeaten record to 16 wins.
Coincidentally, runner-up Echoes in Rain kept Daraso at bay for four more lengths at the same speed.
