Fahey relaxed on Peregrine Run’s next race
Trainer Peter Fahey says stable star Peregrine Run could contest one of two races at Galway in the big summer festival.
Since finishing ninth in the Galway Plate last year, he has won six races over fences and one over hurdles. The nine-year-old is now on a five-race winning run after his latest victory at Cork last weekend but Fahey has yet to decide on his next run. Another outing in the Plate could be an option, while a potential entry in the Guinness Galway Hurdle also remains an option. He told reporters: ‘He’s in both, the Plate and the Hurdle, and we will see how things pan out.‘We’ll look at the entries, see what the ground is like and everything. The last day he ran over hurdles, I know it as over two and a half, but he travelled very well and keenly. He enjoyed jumping so we said afterwards we’d give ourselves the option over hurdles as well as see what happens. ‘He’s in great nick. He came out of his races well. He’s fresh and well and we’re looking forward to it. ‘He’s been a great horse for the yard and a great horse for everyone involved. It will be great if we could get a round at Galway and go there with a chance.’
