Expire sheds maiden tag

The Paul Deegan trained Expire made it lucky attempt number 13 at Naas this evening, making all to win the opening Royal Sun Alliance Supporting Aware Maiden, under Willie Supple.

Afterwards Deegan stated “that was about time! I’ve gone through his form but can’t see why he is rated 87 – it is still too high but thankfully he has got his head in front. He is likely to go to the July Sales at Newmarket now.”

“He is owned by Mohammed Al Suboosi, who was with me for two months’ work placement last year. He trains endurance horses in Dubai and might now have a few racehorses.”
