Review leopardstown 26th Jul
Famous Name notched career victory number 18 when completing a hat-trick of wins in the Jockey Club Of Turkey Meld Stakes at LeopardstownThu 26th Jul
Afonso scores in runaway fashion
The drying ground (officially good, good to soft in places) at Leopardstown proved much to the liking of Afonso De Sousa who justified strong support on his third outing in the opening juvenile maiden and he could yet take high ranking among the powerful Ballydoyle team. Thu 26th Jul
After race at Dundalk Fri, 26th Sep, 2014 (1st) 
he (Afonso De Sousa) was not quite as ready as he was for this race last year, and that's why I rode him more patiently. He loves artificial surfaces, and is a classy horse and he's not shown on the track yet what I think he has in the locker.

He is a lovely big horse. He was prepped to go to Dubai but he had a little setback and then he was ready in the middle part of the year but he had another setback.

The better ground made all the difference as Henry hated soft ground. That's the first bit of reasonable ground we've got in a while. The Phoenix Stakes could be a possible target for him now.
