Buckley: More to come from Slick Seattle in Laurels

HAVING gone almost overboard with my reaction to his early puppy runs at Shelbourne, I was pleased to see the Pat Buckley trained Slick Seattle finally live up to the rating with a superb 28.16 run in Monday’s unscheduled third session of the Pat Hennerty Sales Irish Laurels at Curraheen Park.

It was a serious performance in coming from behind that very strong stayer Deerfield Music to post the fastest time of the round.

“He was unlucky in the Derby and picked up a small fracture, so it was a rush to get him ready for the Laurels and there should be more to come from him,” said Buckley.
