Well-backed Awkward Moment records smooth maiden hurdle success
Backed from 5/2 to 15/8 favouritism, the Michael Hourigan-trained five-year-old, patiently handled by talented 7lb. claimer Adrian Heskin, recorded a smooth four and a half lengths win over front-running Kusadasi, taking command on the run-in.
Hourigan admitted: “I bred and sold this fellow and I’ve always considered him a very good horse. But today is the first time he’s shown what he’s capable of. My horses just weren’t running well for a long time.
