It was great to see David Garrick get his head in front at Cork recently. He has been running consistently well this season and lost his maiden status in very taking fashion. He travelled very sweetly under Mark Gallagher and showed an impressive turn of foot on ground that wouldn’t have necessarily been ideal for him. He has come out of the race very well and we look forward to getting him back on the racecourse again soon.
The horses continue to run well, with Midnight Fire really taking the eye in a strong maiden at the Curragh last weekend. He ran quite green in parts but the penny really dropped in the last furlong and he flew home to come a fast finishing fourth. He should progress again for the run, and it is nice to see him turning into the horse we always thought he would be for his very loyal owner Noel O’Flaherty.
A particularly pleasing runner of late was Lily Light Foot who made her debut in a bumper yesterday at Ballinrobe. She was ridden by our own Patrick Harty and came a very good second. She will have learned a lot for the experience and should come on tremendously for the run. She belongs to one of our longstanding owners, Bobby Guiry, and it would be really lovely to have another smart horse for Bobby. Lily is a half sister to Mala Beach and Bonny Kate so she certainly has a pedigree worth getting excited about!
A new addition to the team from this year’s Derby Sale is a gorgeous filly by the hot sire Coastal Path – sire of both Bacardys and Asterion Forlonge – pictured below. Only a few shares remain in this gorgeous girl so get in touch quickly to avoid disappointment!
