Two more for in-form Gordon Elliott
A five-time winner on the flat last year, Moonmeister made a a successful hurdling debut in the opening V Is For Vintage Maiden Hurdle, wearing down front-running Rufino close home to score by a half-length, initiating a double for winning rider Luke Dempsey.
Elliott commented: “He has schooled well at home and got there in the end — I though the other horse had stolen it. We’ll mix and match it with him for the summer and I’d say he could go for the four-year-old winners hurdle on the first day of Galway.”
