BRED by Tony Slattery at his Milltown Britton Stud, the eight-year-old Noah And The Ark (Vinnie Roe) earned blacktype last weekend in some style, running out a nine-length winner of the Grade 1 Lonesome Glory Hurdle at Aqueduct.

This success followed a 16-month layoff, and the Todd McKenna owned and trained Noah And The Ark took the honours at the expense of the odds-on favourite and multiple Grade 1 winner Snap Decision.
