Das Mooser leads Fairymount Boy over the last© Photo Healy Racing
Das Mooser led from pillar to post in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Handicap Chase, scoring under Mark Bolger for trainer Mark Fahey.
Successful in the Bishopscourt Cup at the Punchestown Festival in 2017, the seven-year-old daughter of Definite Article finished third in this years renewal.
She was since seventh on her handicap debut at Tramore last month, and fitted with a tongue strap for the first time today, went off a 6/1 chance (from 7s on-course) in the colours of owner Louise Quinn.
The 6/4 favourite Fairymount Boy threw down a challenge from the second last, but the winner proved game in front. pulling out more on the run-in to prevail by two and a half lengths. Bendanella (7/1) was another length and three parts back in third.
Fahey said afterwards: "She is very genuine and loves jumping and that quick ground.
"The drop back to two miles was a worry although she does show plenty speed at home. Mark gave her an excellent ride and does all the work with her at home.
"Louise Quinn's brother in law Colm Quinn sponsors races at Galway so we might have to have a think about running there next."
