Arthur Moore was back in the winners’ enclosure at Fairyhouse courtesy of The Miracle Man in the three-mile handicap hurdle.

The Workforce getting had been narrowly denied in a tight three-way finish at Leopardstown last time and went to post an 11/2 shot today.

Donagh Meyler produced his mount to lead over the second last and he stayed on well in the closing stages to post a length-and-a-quarter victory over Topgun Simmy

“Mr (Austin) Trappe never has more than one horse. He’s with me 25 years and they’ve all won a race somewhere along the line, this might prove to be the best one,” said Moore.

“He’s a tough horse, he’s form that Carrigeen family and they stay.

“He seems to like that ground. At one stage I was thinking we might let him off but they wouldn’t be running on faster than that during the summer so we’ll keep him out for a while.

“I have three or four to run. Three In A Row ran well at Limerick on Tuesday. As Edward O’Grady said ‘any winner is like a shot in the arm to a drug addict’.”
