Lynam hoping for Slade invitation

Eddie Lynam is hoping Slade Power will get an invitation for the Hong Kong Sprint after staking a strong claim with victory at Ascot on Saturday.

The Co Meath trainer already has one automatic entry for the six-furlong Group One at Sha Tin in December in Sole Power thanks to his success in the King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot.

“We always thought the world of Slade Power and it’s all coming into place. He was good in the stalls and did everything right. I was delighted with him,” Lynam told At The Races.
