After a brace at the venue yesterday, which included a winner for Eoin McCarthy, Gearoid Brouder and the County Limerick based handler stuck again this afternoon at Greenmount Park in the penultimate event with Moonlight Glory
A course and distance winner from 43 days back Moonlight Glory was second favourite at 5/2 to follow up in this ConverMax Handicap Hurdle.
She mightn’t have took the eye to the business end as much as the smooth-travelling market-leader, Forrard Away (ultimately only 6th), but the well-bred victor found what was needed when required.
The Saorcha Fitzgerald owned five-year-old saw off Alice O’byrne, bidding to give Henry de Bromhead a treble, by half a length.
Handicap first-timers He’sthewon and Royal Rhythm ran well for third and fourth at big prices.
"She won here over course and distance and the plan was to come back here six weeks afterwards. She was straightforward and is well bred, is out of a good mare and by the right sire (Fame And Glory) and today was the plan,” said McCarthy.
"We had a super Christmas - we had two winners from five runners and got the tactics wrong on another which finished second."
