Summary:"I intend running her in the listed Victor McCalmont Memorial Stakes at Gowran on Sunday. She'll the need the run to bring her on. I think she's a mile and a half filly and, hopefully, she'll be aimed at either Epsom or Irish Oaks." Among Weld's three-year-old colts, Famous Name and Winchester, both winners at Leopardstown this season, stand out. "He's a soft ground horse with plenty of pace. And I'll discuss with Lord Grimthorpe (Khalid Abdulla's racing manager) whether he'll go for the French or Irish 2,000 Guineas." While Famous Name is a worthy Guineas contender, recent Leopardstown maiden winner Winchester is considered an Irish Derby candidate. He's in the Derrinstown Derby Trial, but is more likely to wait for the Gallinule at the Curragh. And I consider him an Irish Derby horse." Unwritten Rule is Weld's likely runner in the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial in two weeks while Casual Conquest will run in the Glanbia Derby Trial at Gowran on Sunday.
