Ballyroan Stakes may be next for Blue Corner

Blue Corner, who lost his unbeaten record at Fairyhouse on Sunday, could be seen next in the Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown on August 9.

Michael Halford’s colt won a maiden at the Curragh by five lengths and was sent off favourite to follow up but was narrowly beaten by Aidan O’Brien’s Warwick Avenue.

Sheikh Mohammed’s son of Teofilo put up a good show considering he is apparently a good ground horse and Halford would have no qualms about stepping him up in class.
