Description

IRISH KNIGHT is a lightly raced 4yo kiwi bred gelding by Belardo of the the Iffraaj mare The Iffraaj Dame.

Tried at staying trips this time in, he ran 4th at Geelong over 2200m (when unlucky not to finish much closer) but didn’t run out the 2400m on a deteriorating wet track last time out. He is much better on top of the ground. The owners have decided to move him on and concentrate on metro quality horses.

His best career run was over 1600m at Moe when unlucky not to win after being badly held up. He ran the fastest last 600m and 200m (12.18sec) of the race. In hindsight, the horse would appreciate being kept at the middle distance trips going forward where he seems to go best .

A mentally immature horse for much of his career, the penny has started to drip this time in and he is sure to get better with age and more maturity.
