1). Feature: Cable Bay (Ire)'s first crop of 2-year-olds exceeded expectations last year. Daithi Harvey chats to Highclere's Jake Warren about the son of Invincible Spirit (Ire).
“It wasn’t a total surprise as we had always been keen on his stock from early on. The foals were very well- balanced and strong and they developed into attractive, precocious-looking yearlings. That said he was a £6,500 stallion and that obviously put a limit on our expectations, but he has certainly punched above his weight and it has been very exciting so far and great for the stud.” - Jake Warren

"These days, you can’t give trainers enough time between races. That’s one of the reasons so many top horses weren’t pointed to this year’s Pegasus. With such a huge purse, the $20-million Saudi Cup became the first priority for several trainers and owners. They didn’t want ro run five weeks beforehand in the Pegasus and then ship across the globe to Riyadh." - Bill Finley
