Murtagh reaches a half century Johnny Murtagh moved onto the 50 winner mark for the season when partnering Princess Lomi to take the concluding EMC ‘Private Cloud’ Handicap at Leopardstown. Murtagh set the pace on the Andrew Heffernan-trained mare and, after being strongly pressed from over a furlong out, held on gamely by a head from Alamanda. Murtagh was completing a double on the evening having earlier been on the mark when Zoffany took the Group Tryos Stakes in good style.
