The King Of Brega rules for Dylan Robinson in Galway Plate Trial
The gelding, a winner on his first start for trainer Henry De Bromhead, back in October, but out of form in four subsequent starts, returned to form with cheekpieces fitted for the first time. Travelling so well was the nine-year-old, Robinson let him stride on before leaving the back-straight and, barring a mistake at the second-last and being long at the last, he gave an exemplary round of jumping en route to a wide-margin victory.
“I just said ‘go out and be positive on him’ and I thought he gave him a super ride,” said De Bromhead, of the winning jockey. “The horse came alight, he let him bowl along, and he broke all their hearts. I’m just so pleased for Dylan, he’s a really good member of our team, a nice guy, a good rider, and this was his first win over fences.
