CHAMPION jockey Barry O’Neill rode a double at Moira on Saturday, and it started with the Andrew Latta-trained newcomer, Hes Rockin, in the five-year old geldings’ maiden. The son of Shirocco, who is related to plenty of track performers, was always prominent in the hands of O’Neill. He made his move at the final fence to challenge the leaders where a quick jump sealed the race for R.C.A. Latta.
It was a taking performance on debut by the winner, who looks set to go onto achieve much bigger things on the track. O’Neill said: “He’s a smart horse. It was a big ask to do it around here with 14 runners. We fancied him coming here and he’s a very nice horse for the future. He’ll go to the sales now.”
