Fleeting Moment is on the go a long time now (began as a two-year-old in October 2007) and he gained the first victory of his flat career to add to a Tramore maiden hurdle win, when he landed the Group Discounts At Dundalk Handicap under Andrew Thornton.

Owned and trained by Pat Martin, Fleeting Moment gained a narrow advantage a furlong out and he kept on well under pressure inside the final furlong to beat Kalacan by three parts of a length. There was a bit of money about for Matjar (25s into 16s) and he ran well, coming home with purpose to finish a nose back in third.

Thornton said: "Pat's away on holidays in Morocco. It's about time this lad won one. He's a consistent horse and always tries his best." Aragorn Icon was reported to have run short of room a number of times in the straight. (AM & EM)
