Bulldog Moriarty wins G2 Eagle Farm Cup

31 May 2014

The Chris Waller-trained Moriarty (Clodovil / Justice System) dominated the finish of the $250,000 Group II Merio Coffee Eagle Farm Cup (2200m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday. Moriarty travelled sweetly on the back of the leader Wistful and when the run came in the straight he exploded through an opening before powering away to win easily. Winning jockey Nash Rawiller said, “he’s always been a bulldog when it comes to those narrow little runs.” He is set to back up next week in the Group II Brisbane Cup. Moriarty’s full sister is to be offered at Goffs’ Orby sale 2014 and she is in foal to Born To Sea.
