Review cork 12th Apr
Cambiaso looked a colt with a big future when making a hugely impressive debut in the Ballyclough (C & G) Maiden at Cork, the second leg of a double on the card for jockey Wayne LordanSun 12th Apr
It was a very good performance. It was an excellent renewal of the race. I'm considering the Irish St Leger for him and he'll be entered in the Melbourne Cup. There was a lot of very good horses in the race. It was a proper race full of Derby winners and Derby places horses.
D K Weld
it was a pleasing performance. Robbie said he wouldn't be in love with the ground and apart from a slight mistake three out, I was pleased with the performance. It didn't tell us anything we didn't already know about him but it was more experience for him and provided everything goes well, he'll take his chance in the Supreme Novice Hurdle. He'll be a better horse on nice ground, is a dual purpose horse rated 110 on the Flat and can win more Group races. If everything goes well in his next race, he'll go back on the Flat then - staying Group races will be his main profession this year.
D K Weld
I'm delighted with him. He battled well to win his maiden hurdle at Galway where the third horse was left 28 lengths back in third.
D K Weld
I feel for the connections of the second but they are two good novice hurdle horses, and its most unusual for Galway to go 28 lengths clear of the rest. Robbie had to go when he did and just got tired in the last 100 yards. He jumped well for a first run over hurdles, and the logical step is to go for a winners-of-one at Listowel.
D K Weld
He's an improving horse and we might try and get a bit of black-type with him. He'll make a nice four-year-old,.
