Horse Racing: Moore's so merry.

LOGSDAIL gave the Moore family more than one reason to celebrate by taking the Goodwood Aviation Stakes yesterday.

The winner was trained by Gary Moore, who dashed off quickly to watch on television as his son Ryan partnered his first winner since returning from injury a couple of minutes later at Brighton.

Logsdail (7-2) was also on the mark here last time and George Baker produced him late to score cosily by two lengths from 5-2 favourite Sedgwick.

"That was perfect, it makes the job worthwhile," beamed Moore senior on his return.

"It was nice ground for Logsdail and maybe we'll have to bring him back for the Glorious meeting - there might be one race he can get in."

Marcus Tregoning saddled his first two-year-old winner of the season as King's Icon did it the hard way in the Casco EBF Maiden Stakes. The 11-8 favourite, second here on his debut, took things along from the front and that is exactly where he stayed throughout and by the line Martin Dwyer still had two lengths in hand from Alsadeek, who made eye catching late strides.

"He would be the most forward of my two-year-olds," said Tregoning. "I think he would have been suited by a bit more cover and he ran a bit green but he has shown plenty and there is more to come."

Murrin (9-1) atoned for an unlucky defeat at Epsom on his previous outing when racing away with the International Bureau of Aviation Stakes.

Kerrin McEvoy demonstrated just why he is in such demand these days with an well-timed ride to land the feature Thomas Eggar Stakes at Goodwood on Rock Anthem for John Dunlop.
