Punchestown 2024

Much loved winner for Ryan and Morgan

Thu 4th Jun 2009, 18:55

Owner Mick Ryan saw his colours carried to an impressive victory by Moran Gra in the 6f EBF Maiden at Leopardstown.

The son of Rahy is trained by Joanna Morgan who explained her association with this horse: "The late Fr. Sean Breen persuaded Mick Ryan at Cheltenham last year to put a yearling with me and this fellow is the result. Moran Gra translates to Much Loved and is in memory of Sean."

"I have always thought a lot of this colt. The ground was against him first time out and while he is still a big baby we will make an entry for him at Royal Ascot."
