Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 16, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 16, 2019 Richard Fahey is keen to give Space Traveller (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) the chance to prove himself at the top table in the GI Breeders’ Cup Mile at Santa Anita in November. A surprise winner of the G3 Jersey S. at Royal Ascot in June, the Bated Breath colt then suffered back-to-back defeats at Goodwood and York. However, he bounced back to winning ways in the G2 Boomerang S. at Leopardstown on Saturday–and Fahey has earmarked the Grade I contest on Nov. 2 as the end-of-season target for his charge. Fahey said, “It was a fantastic performance at Leopardstown, and it was just the job. The mile seems to be his trip. I was happy to see him win again, because he is a good little horse. I thought he was a fraction unlucky the time before at York, because not everything went right. “I was led to believe straight after the race that we would get an invite to the Breeders’ Cup. It is a bit up in the air, but I would love to go there. He has got that natural speed and travels well, and he would be well suited to the track. Hopefully we can get there with a bit of luck.” The post Space Traveller Eyes Breeders’ Cup appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
