Harrington and Foley double up with Moonlit Sun Moonlit Sun (9/4f) overcame late in-running trouble to give trainer Jessica Harrington and jockey Shane Foley Naas-doubles today, completing the feat in the concluding Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden. Placed third on debut in a smart course maiden in May, the Moyglare Stud-owned-and-bred filly was short of room behind the leaders over a furlong out in today’s race. Having manoeuvred right-handed in the final furlong, Moonlit Sun bumped against eventual runner-up White Sand Beach and while a stewards’ enquiry was called, the winner had scored comfortably at the line, so the result stood. Afterwards Harrington, earlier successful with the Foley-partnered Oro Blanco in a two-runner match, confirmed “Moonlit Sun was just green but won easily. “She’s a nice filly and she’ll probably step up to mile-and-a-quarter next. I don’t know where we go but we’ll probably look for a bit of black-type, maybe in a fillies Listed race.” Quotes from Gary Carson
