Halford in no rush with Corner
There was plenty of talk on track about the Sheikh Mohammed-owned three-year-old during the afternoon and he did not disappoint, overcoming obvious signs of inexperience to win by five lengths.
Halford believes his charge will only get better with more racing under his belt and once stepped up in distance, but is in no rush to make any grand plans yet.
“I’m delighted with him. It was a good start, he did everything well on the day and looks like a horse who should progress,” said Halford.
“He’s always been a horse who has shown us a bit at home, but he’s been such a big baby we’ve just had to be patient with him.
“I’m not sure where we’ll go next with him. There is a mile and three (furlong) Listed race in Leopardstown on June 8, but that might just come a bit too soon for him.
“We’ll step him up in class and that will tell us a bit more about him, as it’s hard to know how good he is at this stage.
