RACING ON HOLD UNTIL CLONMEL: An extended break this week until Clonmel on Thursday. News today on Gordon Lord Byron’s latest long haul trip.
Wonder if horses collect Air Miles? If they do then Gordon Lord Byron must surely have earned enough for a round the world trip by now.
After runs at Leopardstown, Longchamp and Ascot, where he won the QIPCO British Champions Sprint, GLB’s next scheduled arrival is at Sha Tin a week on Sunday for a crack at the Group One Longines Hong Kong Sprint.
This will be the fourth visit to Sha Tin for Tom Hogan’s stable star who was 4th in the Hong Kong Mile at this meeting in 2012 and 2013 and also 7th here in May in the Champions Mile.
Hogan said: He’s been in great form since his last run at Ascot, and we’ve taken him to Dundalk, where he loves the surface. His work there last Friday evening was first class – absolutely tip-top. All we can hope for is a reasonable draw, and some cover and luck in running. We go there with confidence, and it’s certainly worth a shot. We’ve never been afraid to get beat. The horse loves it in Hong Kong. We all love going back there. The hospitality is great. Why wouldn’t we give it a go?”
