Sky’s the limit now as Free Eagle takes flight

You’d imagine that just about anything is now possible as far as Dermot Weld’s Free Eagle is concerned for the rest of the season.

He may have only landed his first ever Group 1, the Prince of Wales’s Stakes, by a short head from the Grey Gatsby at Royal Ascot on Wednesday, but it was a stunning display by the son of High Chaparral.

There is little doubt that Free Eagle has been difficult to train, this was only his fifth ever outing, but there is nothing delicate about him when hitting the track.
