Claimer next for Black Belt
On her eighth start Black Belt finally lost her maiden tag, as she won the Craic on the Track 14th August Maiden, for her trainer Tracey Collins with Seamie Heffernan in the saddle. Mon 18th Jul
Hisaabaat has been a very consistent, tough horse and got a lovely ride from Andrew. He has progressed throughout the year and ran a smashing race at Cheltenham, having won his Grade 1 before that. I was a little worried about the two miles and the extra half a a furlong at Cheltenham but he got it. He is a horse who could make a Champion Hurdle horse one day but I doubt it will be next year as it is tough for five year olds. He'll keep progressing and maybe in two years' time he will make into a Champion Hurdle contender. There'a a big flat handicap in him, he is a ten furlong horse on the Flat and I would say Pat Smullen will be keen to ride him but he might go out to grass now. He can run keen in the blinkers and I wasn't convinced he would run up the hill at Cheltenham if he ran free-ly but on the tighter track today, we put them back on.

He did it well and got a lovely ride from Andrew (Lynch). He was second on his last three runs and he had a little bit more in him. Andrew learned from riding him the last day. He gave him a perfect ride and waited a bit longer before delivering the goods. It's quite possible he might have won the last day but he came on from that. He learned his job well and is progressing. He will go for the Triumph Hurdle now, which we were second in last year with Unaccompanied who also won this race. He is progressive consistent and should run well at Cheltenham. I thought Andrew would suit him as he is a Grade 1 jockey who is riding with a lot of confidence. The better ground here today suited him as it was a bit heavy for him at Punchestown on his last start.
