Review cork 3rd Jan

Henry de Bromhead put behind him a poor festive period when Darby's Turn sprang a 33-1 surprise in the Blackwater Maiden Hurdle at CorkSat 03rd Jan

Darbys Gives Layers a Turn

Darby's Turn was rumored to be useful prior to making his debut for Robert Tyner in a bumper at this meeting a year ago (finished third in that winners' event that went to Copper Bleu) but things haven't really developed along expected lines for the six-year-old since then. Sat 03rd Jan

After race at Navan Sun, 22nd Nov, 2009 (1st)

He looks a lovely prospect. He is a little bit hyper but he is a great jumper. I've viewed him as an Arkle Chase horse and he done nothing out there to change my view. Because of all the wind, he wore ear-plugs today, to help him relax. He's unlikely to run again before the Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown on St. Stephen's Day.

W P Mullins

After race at Punchestown Wed, 18th Feb, 2009 (1st)

He'll have another run or two over hurdles but he is the build of a chaser in the making. He may go over a longer trip and Ruby suggested that he'd prefer going left-handed even though he has now won twice going right. (EM)
