Review limerick 17th Jun
Jessica Harrington's consistent four-year-old Bob Le Beau ran out a game winner in a driving finish to the feature Martin Molony Stakes at Limerick.
Fran Berry was never far off the pace in the Listed contest and his mount was engaged in a three-way fight with Unity and Jackaroo as they came down the straight.
The 5-4 favourite, recording his second victory of the season, forged steadily ahead and beat Unity - who had delayed the start to be re-shod - by a hard-fought length, with Zerashan staying on for third.< Roman Flight sprung a 25-1 surprise as he got up close home to deny the odds-on Gonebeyondthemoon by half a length in the Irish Mirror Maiden.
The favourite looked to have the race in the bag in the final quarter-mile with Roman Flight making no progress, but Declan McDonogh would not give in and Charlie Swan's three-year-old grabbed the verdict in the dying strides.
John Murphy's newcomer March On Rome produced a smart turn of foot to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden in the hands of Ben Curtis.
The 16-1 shot had plenty to do at the two-furlong marker, but once getting the hang of things he swooped down the outside and had two lengths to spare on favourite Prophesy at the line.
The trainer completed a double when Goldplated (14-1) arrived late under Samantha Bell to foil a gamble on Hangar Five by three and a half lengths in the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap.< Kalabaya (14-1) was the outsider of the Aga Khan's three runners in the Croom House Stud EBF Fillies Maiden, but when Niall McCullagh pressed the button, John Oxx's newcomer swept past stablemate Kastania to win by four and a half lengths.
Michael Mulvany's mare One Of Three (6-1) followed up last Saturday's course and distance victory off a 5lb higher mark in the jogforjockeys.ie Handicap, taking it up a furlong and a half out under Gary Carroll and striding two lengths clear.
