Ballinderry Moth can add to growing reputation in Killarney

Ballinderry Moth looked a filly of immense promise when racing away with a bumper at Killarney on just her second start, and she can follow up in tonight’s closing race, the Killarney Racegoers Club Mares’ Flat Race, on day one of the four-day meeting at the Kerry track.

Sam Curling’s filly showed signs of greenness when runner-up in a junior bumper at Ffos Las in November, but the benefit of the experience was evident when she galloped clear to win over today’s course and distance in May.

That victory came on soft ground but the daughter of four-time Ascot Gold Cup winner Yeats should have little trouble should she have to face quicker conditions here, and can confirm her status as a fine prospect by accounting for Limerick scorer Rosshaven Lady and Palm Sur.
