Graduate team eye Classics

24 May 2011 - 09:24:49

Connections of Notable Graduate believe the Galileo colt could develop into a contender for the Irish Derby and English St Leger.

The two Classics are possible targets for the highly-promising three-year-old, trained by Dermot Weld and carrying the colours of owner-breeders the Moyglare Stud.

A good performance in the Nijinsky Stakes at Leopardstown on June 9 would see him confirm his ticket for the Dubai Duty Free-sponsored Irish Derby at the Curragh on June 26.

Moyglare's racing manager Stan Cosgrove: "He'll go for the Nijinsky Stakes and then the Irish Derby. He'll stay further and the English St Leger might be a possibility."

Notable Graduate finished second to Marksmanship in a hot Curragh maiden at the beginning of this season and has since won twice, first at Tipperary and then at Gowran.
