Twenty years ago Padraig Beggy rode Jumbo Romance to win a ten-furlong handicap at the Curragh for trainer Tim Doyle and the Tagula mare's son, Goldmoyne emulated his mother when landing the Sycamore Lodge Equine Hospital Handicap.

Right down at the foot of the weights, the 40/1 chance was there to be shot at from a long way out having led from an early stage but he answered every call under Sean Bowen to score by a length-and-a-half from Gosford

It was only a second start in handicap company for the winner who had beaten less than five lengths at Killarney on his previous start.

“He has a lot of ability but he's fairly headstrong. If he did things right I was hoping he'd have a chance,” said Doyle.

“He needs to mature and behave himself a bit better. If we can get him to do things right he's well handicapped.

“He was a handful before the race and I thought he was after boiling over and he was very keen with Sean early in the race.

“He's very tough, when they come to him he does find. He was going away again at the line.

“If we could get him to behave himself and do things right he should progress.

“It's hard to bowl along and keep it up here. I like him, I think he's a nice horse.

“We were very lucky to get in here today as he was 21 on the ballot and they increased the number from 16 on Friday morning to 25. Only for that we wouldn't have gotten in.

“I thought this place would suit as he has a high cruising speed. There are very few races for a lowly rated three-year-old so I was delighted to get in today and he showed what he can do.”
