Smart Flat performer ZAYNAB strikes on hurdling debut plus Noel Moran looks ahead to this season

#horseracing #horse #horses
Gordon Elliott’s Zaynab made a smart start to her career over jumps in the opening race of this year’s Harvest Festival at Listowel.
A half-sister to the yard’s top-class performer Zanahiyr, Zaynab had won two of her four starts on the Flat this season and was last seen finishing down the field in the Sandringham Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The daughter of Phoenix Of Spain was a 2-1 joint-favourite for the Charleville Cheese 3-Y-O Hurdle and quickened up smartly under Sam Ewing to beat the Teriferma - previously unbeaten over hurdles - by four lengths.
Watch a full replay of the success plus watch Gary O'Brien's interview with owner Noel Moran afterward. Noel gave an update on his leading lights, discusses a potential star plus also discussed the chances of his two contenders in Wednesday's Guinness Kerry National at Listowel.
