O'Brien keeps faith in Reward

Aidan O’Brien has not lost faith in Grand Reward despite the youngster’s expensive defeat in the Dubai Duty Free Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury.

Byron held off the Irish raider’s late challenge by three-quarters of a length to confirm the form of the pair’s last outing where the David Loder-trained colt had finished a neck in front of his rival only for the stewards to reverse the placings after interference between them.
