The Paul Gilligan-trained Moonshine Girl (12/1) was, in the end, a comprehensive winner of the Colm Quinn BMW Handicap for rider Jody Townend giving both Jody and brother Paul a winner on the card. The seven-year-old daughter of Sea Moon travelled in mid-division throughout the contest as the heavily backed Shotgun Jack led for the entire way until the final 150 yards. However, when Townend really gave her command, Moonshine Girl responded well for pressure and, in the final furlong, extended away to win by thirteen lengths.

The Gavin Cromwell and Keith Donoghue duo struck a double at Galway Racecourse today with yard legend Stumptown, who was successful at the Cheltenham Festival in 2025 and, iconically, won the famous Velka Pardubicka.

The Gordon Elliott-trained Thinkitdontjinxit (3/1) was an impressive winner of the Corrib Oil Maiden Hurdle for rider Jack Kennedy. The five-year-old son of Vadamos was placed in two bumpers and, having his first start over hurdles, put in a really polished performance to run out successful by nine lengths, with the Ross O'Sullivan-trained Touch The Clouds in behind and Boycetown finishing third.
