Carpanetto poised for winning return

CARPANETTO gets the nap to make a successful seasonal debut in the Darley Stallions' Race at Naas this evening.

Aidan O'Brien has certainly exercised lots of patience with the son of Peintre Celbre and can now begin to reap the benefit of that kindness.

The selection has obviously had his problems, but the story with the Ballydoyle three-year-olds this season, in ordinary races, is that they have been very much ready to do themselves justice at the first time of asking, Warhol, Fontanesi and Mingun being good examples.
