More Than Munny’s storming late run proves decisive

Apprentice Denis Linehan registered his eighth career success, and his first of 2016, when bringing More Than Munny with a storming late challenge to collar odds-on favourite Go Kart in the featured Irishinjuredjockeys.com Race in Dundalk last night.

The Johnny Murtagh-trained Munnings gelding, fourth in his recent debut here over seven furlongs, took time to hit top gear but finished well, denying the favourite close home and scoring by a neck with 20/1 shot Flowerhill Nova a close third.

The delighted trainer stated: “They went quick, which helped, because I was afraid six furlongs might be a bit sharp for him. But he’s a nice horse and is learning all the time.”
