Weld's good run continues

Fri 18th Jun 2010, 19:48

Precious Gem followed up on her recent win at Leopardstown when she came home in front of the Martin Moloney Stakes Listed Race.

Pat Shanahan who guided the 2/1 favourite to victory hit the front inside the final furlong and stayed on well to hold off Choose Me and Declan McDonogh by a neck.

Kris Weld son to the winning trainer said afterwards: “We thought she’d win, it’s great to win a Listed race and she’s beautifully bred filly.”

“We have no real plans for her, we’ll either go for something similar or a Group 3. We may have to travel for that but that won’t be a problem.”

“Pat [Shanahan] gave her a great ride. This is our second time winning the race, we won it back in 2003 with Maharib and Pat was on board that day too."
