Stolen Moment put in an impressive performance to win the second split of Ballinrobe's three mile one handicap hurdle in decisive fashion.
The Court Cave mare made significant headway from the rear after two out. She came right around her rivals to arrive on the scene at the last and jumped it second.
The leader, Get Home was picked off turning for home and the 12/1 shot stormed clear in the final furlong under Sheila Ahern to win by 10 lengths for trainer Sean Aherne.
Get Home had no answers in second at 13/2 and was four and a half lengths ahead of 9/2 chance Four Horsemen
“I own her with my sister Fiona,” said the winning rider.
“It wasn’t entirely the plan to ride her like that. I wanted her to switch off as she’s quite busy at home and she switched off grand there.”
This was Stolen Moment's first victory on her 14th start.
