Munster rules at Tipp

Published at May 26, 2009, 18:37

Local based trainer Aidan O'Brien was on the mark in the opening Modigliani EBF Maiden at Tipperary this evening when his Kingdom Of Munster ran out a comfortable length and a half winner, under Johnny Murtagh.

The son of Danehill Dancer tracked leader, and eventual runner-up, The West Rim before moving through to lead a furlong and a half out, quickening well for an easy win.

O'Brien was absent for what was his 16th winner of the season, and the 24th of Jockeys' Championship leader Murtagh's season.
