Bath and Navan

there is flat racing on turf today at Bath and Navan (Ireland) and the going will be very testing at the Irish track. Aidan O´Brien and hs team are now in California and preparing for the Breeders Cup, but they will still be interested in the result of the mile race for 2yo maidens at 17.15 CET, a race O´Brien has won for the past 4 years. He now saddles 3 runners, with Sirgarfieldsobers (Seamus Heffernan) the pick on jockey bookings. This Montjeu colt, named after one of the greatest cricketers of all time, was a big disappointment on hisdebt, playing u before the start and finishing 13th of 14, but is expected to give a mch more positive performance today. At Bath, the cad begins with 3 maiden races for 2yo´s, which on the form so far shown in opublic, should go to Lasso the Moon (Mick Channon/ Tadge O´Shea) at 15.00, Noordhoek Kid (Charlie Egerton/ Steve Drowne) at 15.30 and Fitz Flyer (DH Brown/ Paul Mulrennan) half an hour later; however in all races there are some inter esting well-bred newcomers from big stables, so it may not be so cut and dried.
