Mick Mulvany made the always wise move of avoiding one of Aidan O’Brien’s horses at Bellewstown today and the decision paid off for the trainer, as his aptly named On The Go Again landed the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden, under a well judged Gary Carroll ride.

The son of Arakan averages approximately one run per month and today scored his second success of the year when quickening well late-on to beat Pure Action

Mulvany later commented “we were toying all week with whether we'd go to the mile-and-a-half race or this one and I just decided to keep away from Aidan O'Brien (who had entered, and runs, Air Supremacy !

“I wasn't worried about his speed for this trip as he has plenty of pace and we'll probably go to Galway now for a handicap.

“The long-term plan is the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel and you won't see him over hurdles till then - we’ll tick along on the Flat.

“He handles all types of ground, is a nice classy kind of a horse and is a lovely big horse. I think we won't see the best of him until he starts jumping fences - he’s practically 17 hands.”
