The KARE Race Day Minstrel Stakes at The Curragh today attracted a poor turnout of just three runners but 1/7 favourite Takar was a worthy winner of the Group 3 event, readily scoring for trainer John Oxx and jockey Johnny Murtagh.

Takar regained the winning thread in the Glencairn Stakes at LeopardstownThu 21st Jun

Takar confirmed the promise of his second start as a juvenile 183 days ago (landed a Leopardstown maiden by eight lengths then) with a striking display to justify favouritism in the Listed European Breeders Fund Tetrarch Stakes at the Curragh.

Curragh Sat, 21st Jul, 2012 (1st) 
it was straightforward for him and it's not often you get a penalty kick! . He goes on the ground very well and that's a bit surprising as he moves like he wants it hard - his dam wanted it fast too. I've read recently though that Oratorio (Takar's sire) has a good strike rate with his progeny on soft ground. Takar's next run will be at Leopardstown in the Desmond Stakes in mid-August . he might have to face fast ground then though. He has only run once on fast ground, in the Guineas, and he didn't run well when we thought he would love it.

Curragh Mon, 7th May, 2012 (1st)
He won well considering he's had a few setbacks. He was laid-up for a short while after his win in October and then for another three weeks in February. He's done well to get here but I couldn't say he lacked for fitness. I was worried about the heavy ground but I'd suppose it wasn't the toughest field.

After race at
Leopardstown Sun, 6th Nov, 2011 (1st)
He won well. I was afraid the ground was a bit gluey for him. He ran well at the Curragh but probably needed the run and found a mile a bit far. He doesn't move like he would travel on soft ground but he did it well. He will start off in a Listed race next year and he has plenty of ability. He is athletic and is out of a good mare (Takarouna) who won the Pretty Polly. He should be a stakes horse.
