Galway Fri, 4th Aug, 2023  Captain Maverick He did it nicely, he's a brave horse. Ben (Curtin) bred him and owns him and this was an ambition of his, to see if he could have a winner at Galway and he's achieved it,. said Weld. A mile is probably his right trip. He's a lovely laidback individual and I just thought cheekpieces might sharpen him and it did. He's a big baby still, he's a horse with a nice bit of improvement in him. He's by Free Eagle and he's bred to be a nice horse. Free Eagle was a very good horse, he won the Prince Of Wales for me. He was an outstanding horse, a tough horse and his son is a tough horse too. I think today was the day but a nursery would be the plan for him. He's a lovely horse and he'll keep improving. My only concern, really, today was the ground. He's a very good mover and I think quicker ground will suit well.
