Happy Harrington holds Court

JESSICA HARRINGTON was very pleased with Moscow Court's winning performance in the INH Stallion Farms EBF Novice at Thurles yesterday.

The five-year-old, ridden by Tom Treacy, timed his challenge to perfection when beating Royal All Star by three and a half lengths.

Ruby Walsh set the early pace on Royal All Star, was headed by the favourite McGruder at the third last, but was back in front coming to the last. However, Moscow Court put in a tremendous jump at the final obstacle to win handily.
