Salt Lake City latest O’Brien juvenile to impress
Big end-of-season targets open following Navan victory.
Aidan O’Brien’s Salt Lake City could be set for a big-race assignment after running out a taking winner at Navan. The Galileo colt, who is out of Queen Mary and Flying Childers winner Heartache, was second to subsequent National Stakes victor Al Riffa on debut at the Curragh in August. His next run came in the Convivial Maiden at York, where he disappointed when unplaced on good to firm Knavesmire ground. Back on home turf with more give in the surface, the bay was a winner for the first time in his career when streaking home five lengths clear under Wayne Lordan in the NavanRacecourse.ie Maiden over a mile. “Obviously his first run was very eyecatching,” the rider said.Third time lucky for Salt Lake City who pulls away in the closing stages for a smart victory in the https://t.co/8n080lqvUd Maiden for the @waynemlordan and Aidan O’Brien combination 🥇 pic.twitter.com/RN719TpNzM
