No Moment Of Weakness for Berry

Sat 3rd Apr 2010, 14:47

The opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden was won by the Jessie Harrington trained Moment Of Weakness in the hands of Fran Berry.

The Big Bad Bob gelding who was prominent for most kept on well inside the final furlong to lead close home and deny Jolly Snake and Rory Cleary of victory.

Winning trainer Harrington said afterwards: "I'm thrilled with that performance. Fran rode him the other morning and he was very happy with him."

"We bought him at Goresbridge for €1400. I love Big Bad Bob's they have a wonderful temperment. He was always a nice horse and he's come on really well."
