Graduate toys with his rivals

THE Dermot Weld trained Notable Graduate toyed with the opposition on the way to landing the Curragh Racecourse Members’ Maiden at Tipperary last night.

The son of Galileo was available at 6-5 in the morning, but developed into a major order through the day and was returned at 2-5.

He is a half-brother to Refuse To Bend, winner of the English 2000 Guineas, and Melbourne Cup hero, Media Puzzle, who were both, of course, trained by Weld.
