Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 27, 2022 Journalists Posted July 27, 2022 The Sept. 10 G2 Champagne S. is next for the unbeaten Isaac Shelby (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), according to trainer Brian Meehan. Owned by the Manton Thoroughbreds VII partnership led by Sam Sangster, the chestnut won at Newbury on debut, and followed up in the July 9 G2 Superlative S. If the colt continues to progress, a crack at the G1 2000 Guineas is on the horizon next spring. “We put him in the Champagne S. at Doncaster and that is probably likely to be his next spot,” said Meehan. “He has taken the race well. He has had a little break and we couldn't be happier with him. “He was impressive in the way he battled like that. He wasn't going to stop. There is lots to look forward to and we are looking forward to the autumn. “The plan is to definitely train him as a Guineas horse going forward. He is a colt with huge potential. Physically, you'd think there would be massive improvement to come, but he has plenty of time before Doncaster.” The post Champagne Next For Undefeated Isaac Shelby appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
