Gordon out to continue revival

Gordon Lord Byron bids to continue his revival in the Friarstown Stud Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh tomorrow.

Tom Hogan’s multiple Group One winner suffered a muscle injury on his first start of the year in Hong Kong and failed to fire on his first couple of appearances back in Europe, finishing down the field in the Greenlands Stakes and the Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot.

However, he proved he is no back number with a comprehensive victory in last month’s Dubai Duty Free Dash, remarkably his first ever victory at the Curragh, and he steps back up to seven furlongs on his return to the track for this weekend’s Group Three assignment.
