Moran scores with Thepartysover

Sun 28th Mar 2010, 15:04

Co Kilkenny trainer Michael Moran was in the winner's enclosure this afternoon after his charge Thepartysover landed the Ardglass Novice Handicap Hurdle in great style.

Mick Darcy who was never too far off the pace aboard the Cloudings gelding cruised to the front between the last two flights and stayed on strongly to record a seven length win over Spring Wine

A delighted Moran reported afterwards: "He will eventually jump a fence but we'll keep him to handicap hurdling for the time being."

"Mick [Darcy] gave him a great ride, he's the main man in our yard. I worked with him in Dusty Sheehy's and he's ridden four or five winners for me now."

My Racing Story. Emma Connolly

I'm from Killyon, Co Meath and always had a fascination for ponies. My mam and dad eventually gave in and I got riding lessons and then I got my own pony. Then when I was about 12 or 13, I was fortunate enough to start working for Frederick John Bowles and all I wanted was racehorses after that. I was mucking out and riding out there and doing general stable duties. That was during weekends and school holidays. I got the bug massively. I wanted to be a jockey but wasn't good enough. I had a few rides in places like Limerick and Roscommon as an amateur in bumpers. My bottle probably wasn't good enough either.
