Favorite Moon ruled out of Old Rowley Cup
Haggas runner heads to York rather than Newmarket.
Favorite Moon will miss Friday’s bet365 Old Rowley Cup Handicap at Newmarket and run at York instead. William Haggas’ three-year-old won by over eight lengths last time out at Haydock, forcing an 8lb rise from the handicapper. As low as 6-1 in places for the valuable contest at Headquarters, he will instead run in the Betsafe Handicap over a mile and three-quarters on the Knavesmire on the same afternoon. “He goes to York,” said Haggas. “I thought the Old Rowley Cup looked a very strong race. “It’s a race I’ve had no luck in at all, so it hasn’t been my favourite.“It’s near enough a Group race, it’s very competitive, so we’ll go to York with him instead.”
