Camelot shows big heart to win the Derby

Camelot got the job done at odds of 1/5 in the Group 1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby to become the 15th horse to complete the English/Irish double. He ultimately had to tough it out to get the better of Born To Sea to credit Aidan O'Brien with his 7th Curragh highlight in a row, his tenth in all and his 28th Irish Classic. Sat 30th Jun

Review leopardstown 28th Mar

Light Heavy fended off the persistent challenge of Furner's Green to land the Follow Leopardstown On Facebook Race at the Dublin trackWed 28th Mar

118/1 Leopardstown for Bolger & Manning

Narrowly denied with Dynamite Dixie in the 4.55, Jim Bolger & Kevin Manning weren't long about putting things right and after Light Heavy's win in the next, Vastitas doubled their score by making all in the Intervarsity Challenge Handicap at Leopardstown. Wed 28th Mar

It's Light Heavy - with tongue-strap & cheek-pieces

Furner's Green's supporters would have been happy that the favourite would collect in the Follow Leopardstown On Facebook Race for much of the straight, but they weren't factoring in the determined attitude of Light Heavy as that one in the end prevailed by half a length. Wed 28th Mar

Review navan 19th Oct

Frontier (7-2) provided Aidan O'Brien with a sixth consecutive victory in the www.thetote.com/mobile Maiden at NavanWed 19th Oct

Market gets it wrong as Frontier wins

The www.thetote.com/mobile Maiden over a mile proved to be tough going for its juvenile participants and the bigger priced of the Ballydoyle-trained pair, Frontier saw it out best to beat Light Heavy in race two at Navan. Wed 19th Oct

After race at Leopardstown Sun, 13th May, 2012 (1st)

He managed to get there despite not liking the ground. He's not the same horse on that ground. He's a top horse with a will to win and lots of ability. He's not going to Epsom. I'm hoping for decent ground at the Curragh for the Irish Derby.
