Wesley Joyce brings up Dundalk double on Moondharrig

Wesley Joyce added to his earlier win on the card when guiding the Eoin Doyle trained Moondharrig to a comfortable success in the View Restaurant Summer Offer At Dundalk Stadium Handicap at the County Louth venue.

A dual scorer earlier in the winter, the son of Fascinating Rock had to settle for minor honours here last month but was back in the number one spot tonight.

Often a front runner, the four-year-old got a nice lead from Garrick Painter here, tracking that rival before taking over entering the straight. Soon clear, he ran around a bit in front, more idling than anything else, before keeping on to win by three-and-a-quarter lengths from the closers Forbidden Planet and Celtic Revival

That win means that the gelding has now been successful on three of his last four visits to Dundalk.

Eoin Doyle said: "He's had a good winter up here anyway.

"He was just a bit upset tonight going out, he kind of whipped around and we were a bit worried.

"Wesley said he actually picked up better than he did the last three nights.

"He was impressive tonight now, he picked up well. He was left in front a long way out, but he said he kept finding and finding and finding.

"We were giving out as he got 7lb for being second the last day, but obviously he (handicapper) was right."
