They would need to get some rain in this next 24 to 48 hours. It looks like that\u2019s going to happen. I wouldn\u2019t take him over there if there\u2019s firm in the going description.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith a bit of luck it\u2019ll be good ground and he goes there. That\u2019s what we\u2019re looking forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cIt was a great run at Chester. Lambourn is a dual Derby winner and he gave him 5lb. He did really well to finish so close. He\u2019d been off the track a little while as well. He\u2019s a big, burly horse so he would have come on for that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe will be busy. He\u2019s a very robust horse. He loves racing, he loves training. He\u2019ll run in all of the races (Epsom and Ascot) provided there is no firm in the going description. He\u2019s fine on good ground and I\u2019d love to run him in the Coronation Cup if possible, but Ireland is next on the radar right now. \u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The four-year-old made his seasonal reappearance in Chester\u2019s Huxley Stakes and was only beaten a neck conceding 5lb&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":195714,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[128,130,129],"class_list":["post-195713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195713\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/195714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
