Turk making up for lost time Pat Doyle thought the world of Young Turk in his days 'between the flags' and after spending plenty of time on the side-lines the son of Poliglote could be set to make up for lost time after his win in the Bluegrass Horse Feeds Maiden Hurdle at Bellewstown today. Gigginstown House Stud and Joseph O'Brien have the six-year-old now, and under Shane Shortall in this two and a half miler he beat former Cheltenham Bumper hero Silver Concorde by a length and three parts. Shortall said: "He's still a big, raw horse - that's only his fourth run and his second over hurdles. "I don't think the track (Tramore) suited him the last day. He found loads for me today and had plenty left in the tank. "I wouldn't call him an out-and-out three miler but I imagine his game is fences and anything he does over hurdles will be a bonus." D.J. Mullins, rider of Go Another One trained by John C. McConnell, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount jumped poorly. (MG & EM)
