Moore chasing big Curragh prize

Trainer Stan Moore is hoping bargain buy Southandwest can prove successful in the €147,000 Tattersalls Ireland Sale Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday.

Bought for just over 5,000 guineas as a yearling last autumn, Southandwest has proved a model of consistency for his trainer on his four starts to date, winning two races and finishing a three-length fifth to Bahama Mama in the Listed Dragon Stakes at Sandown in July.
