Happy Memories for Taaffe

Former smart Flat performer Distant Memories made a winning debut over timber in the Roches Feeds Maiden Hurdle at Limerick.

Now in the care of Tom Taaffe, but still owned by Jim and Fitri Hay, he travelled strongly throughout for Paddy Mangan before picking off the long-time leader Page Turner after a slightly sloppy leap at the last to strike by a length as the 8-13 favourite.
