Blanco can enhance reputation

AIDAN O’Brien’s Cape Blanco, a possible star in the making, has to be choice to take the Group 2 Galileo EBF Futurity Stakes at Fairyhouse this afternoon.

Appropriately, he is a son of Galileo and unbeaten in two races to date. Cape Blanco scrambled to victory first time up on this track and then made dramatic improvement when tackling the Group 3 Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown.

A big order morning-prices and later on the track as well, the selection went off a prohibitive 1-2 shot.
