Chaos a rare debutant juvenile winner for Lynam

JOHNNY Murtagh, who will partner Dylan Thomas in today’s ‘King George’ at Ascot, was on the mark at Fairyhouse last night, scoring on debutant Capt Chaos in the Book Tickets Online Median Auction 2-Y-0 Maiden.

Winning trainer Eddie Lynam admitted: “That’s a bit of a surprise. It’s yonks since we had a first-time-out two-year-old winner.”

Capt Chaos, a son of Captain Rio owned by Richie Behan, quickened clear to slam the luckless Princess Zoe. And Lynam added: “I thought he’d be a nice early type, but he got a bang on his hock and had to be given a break. I suppose he’ll have to step into listed class. He’s in the £300,000 St.Leger Yearling Sales Race at York on August 23.”
