Moviesta comes from last to first under Hayes

Moviesta bounced back to his best as he swept through to win the Group Three Gerrardstown House Stud Supporting Breast Cancer Research Renaissance Stakes.

Formerly trained in the UK by Bryan Smart the son of Hard Spun made his debut for Eddie Lynam at Royal Ascot in June when finishing down the field in the Diamond Jubilee.

He ran a much better race on his next start finishing third behind Stepper Point and Nunthorpe winner Mecca's Angel in the Invincible Spirit Sapphire Stakes over five furlongs at the Curragh.

He again ran below par at Goodwood on his last start but he was found to have burst a blood vessel during that race.

Sent off an 8/1 chance today he was settled in rear by Chris Hayes who was having his first ride aboard the five-year-old.

He took closer order from two furlongs out and got a lovely run through on the rail from a furlong out, keeping on best in the final furlong to nab Toscanini close home.

The runner-up, who attempted to make all, was returned a 9/4 chance under Shane Foley for Mick Halford while Gordon Lord Byron (13/8 favourite) was a further length back in third under Wayne Lordan for Tom Hogan.

Eddie Lynam said afterwards: "I fancied him in Goodwood but it all went pear-shaped.

"When I got him initially myself and Wayne Lordan, who usually rides him work, were of the strong opinion that he was a six-furlong group horse.

"When he ran at Ascot there was a change of opinion and we thought he was a five furlong horse. Now I'm inclined to believe he's a six-furlong horse!

"He bled in Goodwood and has had a few issues but he's a very good horse.

"They are nice lads to train (owners Will Salthouse, Harry Redknapp and Ritchie Fiddes) for and I'm delighted to train a winner for Harry. I wish he was managing my team (Man United) at the minute - they might have done a bit better!

"We'll try and find a nice race for him now."
