No catching Fahey’s Moon in Firth of Clyde

Catching The Moon took the step up to Group company in her stride to land the Ladbrokes “Get Rewarded With Ladbucks” Firth of Clyde at Ayr, and began to live up to her pedigree in the process.

Richard Fahey’s no Nay Never filly travelled beautiful in midfield in the hands of Oisin Orr as Come on Eibhlin set the early pace.

Isle Of Fernandez took up the running as the race got serious and Catching The Moon was the first to lay down her challenge.

The 15-2 shot just held off the challenge of Lam Yai close home to cross the line a neck ahead.

Fahey’s winner is out of a half-sister to Pearls And Rubies and from the same family as the Oaks runner-up Quarter Moon.

Catching The Moon was following up an impressive victory last time out at Beverley to ensure Fahey won the race for a fourth time and Orr told ITV Racing:

“She’s chilled out. We had a good position in behind the leaders. I travelled well and she probably didn’t really enjoy the ground but she got through it today. She’s picked up and done it nicely.

“On better ground you will see her run better. She’s a lovely filly and she’s very straightforward. She’s one of the nicer fillies and it’s great to be on her.”
