Trainer Peter Fahey completed a double at Limerick today as his Sky Moon under jockey Oisin Orr, added the Stagefright Play Live July 13th Handicap to the earlier win by his Canford Art

Canford Art won the earlier six furlongs handicap for jockey Kevin Manning and Fahey's Sky Moon doubled the score when gaining a first career win under Orr. The son of Swiss Spirit was held up in rear before being produced with a well timed challenge in the home straight, to eventually lead close home and beat Starlite Dancer by half a length.

Fahey wasn't present and Orr later commented "they went along hard and they came back to me which helped but I was still travelling strongly turning in and the gaps opened up for me.

"When he learns to switch off he might get a bit further but he is doing everything right now and he did it well."
