Moments makes all to open account
Moments Linger beats Yesterdayoncemore

Moments Linger made her experience count when making all to land the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Dundalk this evening.
Jim Bolger 's charge broke well in the five furlong contest and took them along.
The well backed Yesterdayoncemore (7/4 into 1/1) tried to throw down a challenge passing the two pole but Moments Linger stuck on well for Kevin Manning.
The daughter of Dawn Approach edged slightly right under pressure in the closing stages but was always holding her rival to record a three-parts-of-a-length win.
“I thought she had improved a nice bit from the last night, when she had a very good run here, and she did,” said Manning.
“It's just difficult up the middle of the track here and running past the horse gate as well for two-year-olds but she's done it well and I'd be happy with her.
“I think she will improve again and when she steps up another furlong it will be a huge help to her. I think she's a filly for the future, going forward I think she's a nice filly.
“She's only going to keep improving. She's winning over five but I don't think it's her trip and when she steps up in trip we'll see the best of her.
“I had a run under my belt, which is a huge advantage, and I popped, just kept it simple and let her do her own thing in front.
“Jim has his horses in great shape at the minute and they are running very well, long may it last.”
