Weld bandwagon rolls on relentlessly

THE Dermot Weld bandwagon rolled on relentlessly at Limerick last night when Precious Gem, carrying the colours of his mother, Marguerite, landed the Martin Molony Stakes.

Given a powerful drive by Pat Shanahan, the daughter of Sadler’s Wells found loads for pressure when the need was greatest.

Shanahan edged her past trail-blazing Hazarafa inside the final furlong and kept the mare going in terrific style to resist the persistent challenge of Choose Me by a snug neck.
