Harrington mulls right Path

Trainer Jessica Harrington will not rush into a decision regarding future targets for yesterday’s Curragh winner Pathfork.

The Distorted Humor colt made quite an impression as he supplemented his maiden win with a comfortable length-and-a-half victory in the Futurity Stakes.

Stan James make Pathfork as low as 8-1 for next year’s 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and while a trip to Headquarters for the Jumeirah Dewhurst Stakes on October 16 is an option, Harrington will take her time before outlining a definite target.

“He’s fine this morning, he’s come out of it well and we were absolutely thrilled with the win,” she said.

“He couldn’t really have done any more than he did.

“We will just let the dust settle now before we make any decisions about where we think we should go.

“He’s entered in the Dewhurst and the Beresford Stakes so they are options and we could also supplement him for the National Stakes.”

Pathfork is owned by Kentucky-based Tommy and Bonnie Hamilton and Harrington added: “The owners are American so they might like to go to the Breeders’ Cup but we will see.

“We will just get through the next few days, nothing has been decided.”
