Loughnane backing Bears to rise to Phoenix challenge
Group Three mission for three-year-old at the Curragh.
David Loughnane’s Go Bears Go will seek further Group success in the Rathasker Stud Phoenix Sprint Stakes at the Curragh on Saturday. The three-year-old was last seen finishing second in the Group Three Hackwood Stakes at Newbury in July, coming home a length and a quarter behind Owen Burrows’ Minzaal. Prior to that he was disappointing when 10th in Royal Ascot’s Commonwealth Cup, a run that looks an anomaly this season as he won the trial for that race and was placed in the Sandy Lane earlier in the term. The colt has run twice at the Curragh previously, winning the Railway Stakes ahead of Castle Star last year before finishing third in the Group One Phoenix Stakes when beaten only a length by Ebro River. “He’s been rock-solid all year apart from Royal Ascot, where he just didn’t turn up on the day for whatever reason,” said Loughnane.🐎 Results Of The Third Race 🐎5.55 ‘St. Peter’s Dunboyne GAA Handicap’
