Courage and style a potent combination for Harzand

“Champions are made from something they have deep inside them. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.” 

There was a moment approaching the final furlong in Saturday’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby at the Curragh when Harzand looked vulnerable.

Idaho, under a masterful ride from Ryan Moore, went upsides the 4/6 favourite and for a few seconds, you suspected his momentum would take him past.
