Moon Over Mexico is a progressive individual who come up for sale immediately after his maiden victory at Dromahane. The son of Soldier Of Fortune was a leading contender for this after he had only missed out on his initial career success by three quarters of a length a fortnight earlier when a close second at Moira. He had just edged his way into a narrow lead when an error at the final fence saw him joined, but to his credit he recovered from the error and gallantly gained a share of the spoils in a race where the front pair pulled some 12 lengths clear of the €80,000 odds-on favourite. Moon Over Mexico himself is a €70,000 purchase and it is a pedigree that has since been further boosted with his half-sister Honky Tonk Highway having made a winning debut in a four-year-old maiden at the end of last month.
