Moon Dice landed a gamble (12/1 in the morning into 11/2 SP) when comfortably winning the Ladies Day 10th October Maiden Hurdle at Limerick today, prompting his trainer Paul Flynn to describe the winner as "the best horse I have".

Moon Dice, under a typically no-nonsense ride Mike Darcy ride, led entering the straight before running out the length and a three parts winner over Talab

He added "every small thing that could have gone wrong went wrong with him but hopefully now he'll improve further from this."

Moon Dice was the subject of a running and riding inquiry when last seen in action, at Navan last December, finishing tenth of 29 runners in a maiden hurdle. His rider then, Mike Darcy, reported to the Stewards he felt "there would be a significant improvement from the gelding when he encounters better ground. "
