O'Brien takes opener at Wexford

Fri 8th May 2009, 17:28

The Aidan O'Brien trained Aristocrat (4/7) justified favouritism when winning the opening race on today's card, The Ingard Point Maiden under Seamie Heffernan.

Heffernan was always prominent on the Galileo colt, improved to lead from over 2f out and kept on well to hold off the Dermot Weld trained Galileo's Choice by 2 lengths.
