Pottersville impressive as Moore opens 'track' account Pottersville stretched clear in the closing stages to make an impressive winning debut for Richard O’Keeffe in the concluding bumper at Clonmel this evening. The Ocovango mare went to post a 14/1 shot on her racecourse bow and travelled well to hit the front turning for home in the race, run over just shy of two-and-a-half miles. Conor Moore, riding his first winner 'on the track', asked his mount for an effort a furlong-and-a-half from home and she soon asserted to record a comprehensive eight-length win over Astley. Moore said afterwards:- “I’ve had 13 point-to-point winners and that’s my first on the track. I wouldn’t be on the track too often. “The plan was to go point-to-pointing with her, but she ran in a schooling bumper at Monksgrange three weeks ago with some of Henry de Bromhead’s Aintree horses and we decided to take our chance in a bumper. “I ride out for Johnny and Mikey Fogarty in the mornings and have eight on the go at home as well.” Pottersville is a half-sister to three-time hurdle winner Scarpia.
