Moore magic casts a spell for Dunlop

CHAMPION jockey Ryan Moore grabbed a first classic success in fairytale circumstances as he swept from last to first aboard supplementary entry Snow Fairy in the Oaks at Epsom.

Trainer Ed Dunlop, who captured the race with Ouija Board in 2004, and owner Cristina Patino put the prize money gained from the fillies’ success at Goodwood just 16 days ago to good use by paying £20,000 to add her to the field.

And three-times title holder Moore stepped up to the plate aboard the 9-1 chance as he weaved a passage through a rough race to lead inside the final furlong and deny Meeznah by a neck.
