Manning/Gorman win opener at Limerick

Mon 6th Apr 2009, 17:03

Kevin Manning continued his good run when winning the opening race at Limerick this afternoon aboard the Jim Gorman trained Count John

Winning trainer Gorman said afterwards, "His first run at The Curragh was a good run and Kevin [Manning] said the ground was very soft but he knew he would handle it and he stuck it out well. He probably wants 7f and we'll look for another handicap for him with a bit of ease in the ground."
