Cat gets Ballydoyle off mark

Fri 9th Apr 2010, 21:14

Aidan O'Brien got off the mark for the year when African Cat battled well to score in the seven-furlong maiden at Dundalk.

Johnny Murtagh, partnering his first winner on home soil this season, got a good tune out of his mount.

The son of Storm Cat fought it out with newcomer Oscillate inside the final furlong and edged ahead close home for a head verdict.

"That's good. We'll be grand - it's a long year," said travelling head lad Pat Keating afterwards.
