Dermot Weld's Manqoosh made a winning debut at Gowran Park under Oisin Orr.

The three-year-old Dubawi colt raced in fifth behind pace-setting Inflection Point in this mile maiden.

The first six horses separated themselves from the remainder passing the halfway stage with Inflection Point still dictating the fractions.

Manqoosh began to make headway in the final quarter of a mile and came to tackle the leader at the furlong pole.

He soon swept by and saw off the always-prominent Tracker Saga by a length and a half at 9/2 from 6/1.

The runner-up also attracted support from as big as 9/1 to 6/1. Wildewood was a further two and a half lengths away in third at 28/1.

Dermot Weld said: “He's a lovely big horse and he's one of the biggest three-year-olds we have.

“I thought he'd run a very nice race. He's a big horse and we'll take our time with him during the year.

“He'd love that ground, just on the slow side of good is perfect for him. We'll see how the summer goes.

“He's 16-2 and over 500 kilos so he's a horse that we'll take our time with during the year. I see him as a lovely horse for the second part of the year.

“The plan was to ride him exactly as he rode him.

“I'd say he'll get a mile-and-a-quarter with the way he was getting to the line there nicely. He'll always want a nice ease in the ground.

“When he fills into that big frame of his I'd say he'll be a lovely horse in the autumn.”
