VOLCANIC DUST gained the first win of her career when taking a 5f Nursery handicap at Brighton yesterday afternoon. The daughter of Ivan Denisovich, ridden by champion jockey Ryan Moore, was sent off a 9/2 chance having run with credit in similar events prior to her latest assignment.
Moore held up Volcanic Dust, owned by Byculla Thoroughbreds, at the rear of the field. She travelled well throughout and eased into the lead just inside the final furlong.
On hitting the front she galloped strongly to the line to score by a length and a half.
