Moloney joins O’Connor at top of Autumn League

Back-to-back wins in the Gain/Alltech Autumn League have moved Eddie Moloney alongside Cian O’Connor at the top of the leaderboard with just the final remaining.

Moloney steered Goodwins 007 to victory in Killossery last weekend and repeated the performance with the OBOS Quality-sired gelding on Saturday at the Wexford Equestrian Centre, the Kilkenny rider crossing the finish line almost three seconds faster than Waterford’s Francis Connors on Heracross in a 10-horse jump-off.

The only other double clear came from third-placed Capt Michael Kelly with Ringwood Abbey.
