Remains better judged on previous form and merits respect back down in trip. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260202leo164004.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u20ac160,000 3-y-o.

The runner-up has won impressively since and that form sets the standard here. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260202leo164005.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Solid form when fourth at Thurles prior to bolting up in 7-runner bumper at Limerick (heavy) on final start for P.

Will be even better as his stamina is drawn out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Well-bred Getaway gelding who put the race to bed in good style when making winning debut in 8-runner&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276242,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-276241","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276241\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
