After Group One success with Champers Elysees at Leopardstown yesterday, Johnny Murtagh appears to have another horse that begins at a higher level, after his Sonnyboyliston (4/1 second favourite) took apart the field in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF ‘Northfields’ Premier Handicap at the Curragh.

After race at Curragh Sun, 13th Sep, 2020 (1st)
That's a great way to end the weekend. Of the whole weekend he was probably the horse I was most excited about, I thought maybe he had the best chance,. When you look at his form, and what Joseph's filly had done (O’Brien’s Thundering Nights), the form was in the book. The cheek-pieces were on him just to help him concentrate because the last time Ben (Coen) thought he just ran a little bit green mid-race. There was a good pace on today and he settled really well. Billy said he got there well. He's a big baby that's learning on the job and he should have no problem stepping up to a mile-and-a-half. He's after getting a fair hike (in the handicap) the last few times. He's a horse I think we should have next year. We might give him one more run before the year is out, maybe the Trigo or one of those Listed races just to see where he fits in. One more this year and hopefully we'll have him for next year because I'd say he's above average.

He's progressing well. I thought he was a little bit unlucky at Navan the last time,. Ben said he made his own bit of bad luck today as he wasn't travelling through the race. When he got him to the outside he stayed on well and got the trip well. I think it's a good trip for him at the minute but he might be a horse that gets a mile-and-a-half in time. He's a very sensible horse but he does light up when he gets to the races. He's only had five runs and is still learning. It onwards and upwards but it's going to get tougher for him as he goes along.
