Farnborough lands the odds under Heffernan The 1/2 favourite Farnborough made most to land the Ryan's Cleaning Event Specialists Maiden under Seamie Heffernan. Runner-up in three of his five starts prior to this outing, the blinkered Galileo colt got over from a wide draw and Heffernan judged the pace well, opening up a clear advantage early in the straight before keeping his mount up to his work to hold the late thrust of Machnamh by half a length. Aidan O'Brien trains the winner for Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith, Mrs John Magnier and Westerberg. Heffernan said: "I wasn't worried about the wide draw but was down four lengths before it started. He jumped, is genuine and he took me up and I had the guidance of the rails. "He idled a little in front, he is a big horse who could be improving and is still a bit weak. But he is genuine and it was a good performance so I'm happy. "When he is fully mature and strengthened up, he won't stop trying or galloping." Quotes from Tom Weekes
