Home / Horse Racing / Dr P J Moriarty Novice Chase
The Dr P.J. Moriarty Novice Chase is held at Leopardstown in Ireland in early February on the same day as the Spring Juvenile Hurdle. The race is for novice chasers aged five year old and over, and is run over a distance of 2 miles and 5 furlongs with 14 fences to be jumped.
The race is a Grade 1 National Hunt chase and was given Grade 1 status in 2002. In terms of betting it is worth noting that the winner of the race often goes on to compete in the RSA Chase at Cheltenham Festival in March. Winners of both the Dr P.J. Moriarty and the RSA Chase include Florida Pearl in 1998 and Cooldine in 2009.
When looking at the odds and considering your ante post bet it is also important to note the pedigree of trainer Willie Mullins in the race. Mullins has trained four winners, including three consecutive winners in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
In 2010 Mullins Citizen Vic upset the odds to defeat the ante-post betting favourite Weapon's Amnesty and the second favourite Roberto Goldback.
