Murtagh bridges 10-year gap on Adiynara
Always close to the pace, despite a wide draw, in the nine-furlong event, Adiynara responded bravely to Murtagh’s urgings to hold off the persistent challenge of 5/4 favourite Jouster by a neck.
Adiynara is trained by Michael Halford, who commented: “She’s rated 73 and was due a turn. She was helped by the cheekpieces and a god ride from Johnny. She did it well from a wide draw and battled well when the favourite came at her. It’s nice to get a bracket with her and, now that she got her in front, she could go on from here.”
