Happy Moments completes remarkable double

HAPPY MOMENTS completed a remarkable double in the McCarthy Insurance Group Cork Oaks final at Curraheen Park on Saturday night.

The bitch, trained by Michael O’Donovan for Waterford owner Shay O'Connor, has now won an amazing 14 of her 17 career starts. She went through last year’s event unbeaten and repeated the feat when romping home clear of Canary Beauty in this year’s decider.

However, it wasn’t all plain sailing as she was only moderately away and, with both Farran Lady and Sparta Cleo cutting in on top of her on the run up, she was forced to take a middle course.
