Clearing The Water an appropriate 3,000th domestic winner for Weld

DERMOT WELD saddled the 3,000th winner of his career in Ireland at Galway last night when Clearing The Water took the 1759 EBF Maiden before a crowd of 28,341.

The Sadler's Wells colt carried the colours of Moyglare Stud Farm and Weld felt that was totally appropriate.

“Mr Haefner (owns Moyglare Stud) has been a wonderful, loyal and true supporter of mine for a quarter of a century”, said the Rosewell House handler, enjoying his sixth success of the week.
