Baily Moon and Slevin a winning combination

Baily Moon and JJ Slevin enjoyed a victory in the three-mile chase at Limerick for trainer Mouse Morris.
The pair tracked All Hell Let Loose before easing to the front entering the home straight. Thanks For Tea looked to be a threat as he travelled well on the outside to almost get on terms with Baily Moon at the second last.
The pair had the contest to themselves as they raced to the last where Baily Moon had edged ahead by just over a length.
Thanks For Tea hit it very hard and lost momentum as Baily Moon jumped it well and galloped home.
Baily Moon was returned at 7/1 and won by three and three quarter lengths from 17/2 shot Thanks For Tea. Supreme Vinnie (7/1) came in third, a further three lengths back.
JJ Slevin said: "I was delighted to get the ride and it was my first winner for Mouse. Ken Whelan (agent) has been working very hard for me and has got me in with a few of those type of trainers and it's a privilege to ride for those type of trainers and great to get the win.
"He is a grand old horse for this time of year and has a nice level of ability and I'm sure they'll continue to have more fun with him."
