Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 9, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 9, 2019 Siskin (First Defence) will run in the G1 Juddmonte Middle Park S. at Newmarket later this month rather than the G1 Goffs Vincent O’Brien National S. at The Curragh on Sunday. The Khalid Abdullah-owned Siskin is unbeaten in four starts to date, most recently providing his trainer Ger Lyons with a first Group 1 success in Ireland when landing the Phoenix S. at The Curragh last month. He was a possible to lock horns with Charlie Appleby’s G1 2000 Guineas favourite Pinatubo (Ire) (Shamardal) on the second day of Longines Irish Champions Weekend, but connections have elected to keep their powder dry for the Middle Park on Sept. 28, a race sponsored by his owner. Abdullah’s racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe said, “In the back of our minds the Middle Park was always the race we were looking at most of all. We just feel he’s better suited sticking to six furlongs at this stage.” The post Siskin to Skip National, Middle Park Aim appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
