MOIRA played host to a lively and atmospheric opening fixture in the northern region, one that was particularly notable for providing a number of young riders with their first career successes, including 18-year-old Adam Leahy who opened his account aboard Rewritetherules (5/4 - 6/4) in the day’s feature, the open lightweight.

The Dermot O’Rourke-owned seven-year-old, last season’s Bishopscourt Cup victor, took up his customary position at the rear of the field before storming to the front entering the back straight on the final circuit.
