Blackbeard will look to bounce back from Ascot disappointment in Saturday's main support race at the Curragh. Photograph: Morgan Treacy/InphoA couple of extra days recovery time might be crucial to the outcome of Saturday’s main support event at the Curragh’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby programme.
O’Callaghan still suspects his runner should have won rather than finishing third after being badly hampered by The Ridler in the closing stages.“Who knows whether he would have won or not but we feel he might have and if we’ve got a horse we feel possibly should have won the Norfolk he should take a beating in the Railway,” he said.
It was notable how Blackbeard raced away from what emerged as the speed of the race and was running on well at the finish. Rather than speed it looked like a mile was what Straight Answer was crying out for and he gets it in Saturday’s Listed Celebration Stakes. The older brigade include the Prix d’Ispahan winner Dreamloper who is joined in a three-pronged cross-channel raid by William Haggas’s pair, My Astra and Purplepay.
