DECADES-long breeding was rewarded with success from another generation of the Murphy family’s horses at Clonmel on Tuesday, where trainer Donie Murphy’s Mystic Malina (7/2) landed the opening Adare Manor Opportunity Maiden Hurdle.

Ridden by Harry Sexton, the daughter of Malinas was initially held up in mid-division and led from the second last to score by six and a half lengths from Loyal Praetorian.
