Barbados bounces back in style
Los Barbados goes on from The Last Marju

Los Barbados bounced back to form to open his account in good style in the 1m3f maiden at Wexford.
Joseph O'Brien produced the 9/4 favourite to claim front-runner The Last Marju over a furlong from home and he powered clear in the closing stages for a 11-length victory.
The Ballydoyle colt had disappointed on his last outing at Naas in May and was fitted with blinkers and a tongue-tie for the first time today.
"He disappointed his last twice you could say but he had plenty of time off," said Joseph O'Brien.
"I didn't expect him to win like that and it was probably an ordinary enough race but I'd imagine he has a future.
"He's a fine big horse, a good old mover and stays well so you'd imagine jumping would possibly be an option for him.
"He handled the ease in the ground. It's not too bad just dead and the track is riding well."
