Melbourne on Moloney’s agenda for next year

RED Moloney bounced back to winning form when landing the listed Ulster Bank Carlingford Stakes at Dundalk last night and will be aimed at the Melbourne Cup next year.

Always close to the pace under Declan McDonogh, the progressive three-year-old edged ahead with a furlong and a half to race and ran on strongly to beat even-money favourite Ezima by a length and a quarter.

Trainer Kevin Prendergast was not present but winning owner Norman Ormiston stated: “We still don’t know what happened at Galway. He just didn’t perform, but was fine afterwards. Kevin decided to give him a break and we’ve always believed in the horse. He proved himself again today.”
