Reports in which Indigo Desert (GB) was mentioned

Desert delivers following 'dumbfounding' debut
For-sale Indigo Desert landed a gamble to win on his second career start at Dundalk today, beating 200/1 chance Mads Black Eights into second in the Crowne Plaza Hotel Dundalk Maiden. Wed 08th Dec
After race at Dundalk Wed, 8th Dec, 2021 (1st)
he's a grand horse and I liked him a lot all along. I ran him at the Curragh and often a horse would disappoint you but I was absolutely dumbfounded. Ronan (Whelan) came in and said 'I've never rode a horse that got as much stage fright' and said he completely and utterly lost his life. we brought him along and he loves that good surface. He was asleep floating around there today and Ronan said he'd better pick him up and when he did he got there a mile too soon. He ran around and he's very green but has the makings of a lovely horse. He has a great mind, a lovely action and that (1m2f) is probably a good trip for him. I'd say there is a lot of improvement in him. He's on the market. We bought ten horses in a syndicate and nine of them are gone. He's the last of them and they were all horses we bought to sell on.
