Free World gives Moore landmark success

FREE WORLD, in the Kato Star colours of Clive Smith, gave trainer Arthur Moore his 1,100 career success when winning the Eater Towers Chase in Ballinrobe yesterday.

The seven-year-old, rated as high as 153 during his time with Paul Nicholls, was bouncing back from an early exit on his Irish debut at Tipperary and, confidently handled by Davy Russell, readily brushed aside the challenge of Schelm to triumph by three and a half lengths.

A delighted winning trainer stated: “I’ve known Mr. Smith a long time. It was great for him to send me two horses and I’m delighted to train a winner for him.
