Are You The One wins Limerick opener

Mon 28th Dec 2009, 12:58

The opening race at Limerick today went to the Kieran Purcell trained Are You The One who justified 2/1 favouritism under Dunguib's rider Brian O'Connell.

O'Connell, partnering his second winner as a professional, held the son of Alhaarth up in mid-division before progressing to eventually wear down leader Sounds Of Jupiter after the final flight, for a four lengths win.

Are You The One is owned by the two member BPP Syndicate from Kilkenny.
