Khyber Pass’ comeback after a year expected to lead to a pleasant outcome in the Security & Emergency Services Ireland Forum Maiden
The Security & Emergency Services Ireland Forum Maiden has brought together many entries to choose from. Some have a reasonable level of experience up their sleeve while there are entries for whom the race will mark their career debut. Those who have tried
their luck at clearing the maiden already have also visited Dundalk before. The mile race will be contested by fourteen three to four-year-old runners on Sunday, 2nd September. The prize money set for the race is €6,900.
The Edward Lynam trained bay gelding, Khyber Pass, has already give the maiden stakes two shots at Dundalk, and has finished third and then fourth in the two outings.
Not only is he familiar with the race course, the three-year-old bay gelding is returning after a year’s gap. The efforts of the connections during such a long break cannot be undermined.
He ended third in the Christmas Parties At Dundalk 2YO Race on 25th November, 2011 at Dundalk over a mile. Winning the race was the favourite entry, Aloof, who led by the margin of 1 ¼ lengths and set, Shukhov, as the runner-up.
Khyber Pass had his very next stop in the Johnny Murtagh – Ireland & Dundalk’s Champion Jockey Of 2011 2YO Maiden on 23rd December, 2011 at Dundalk over seven furlongs.
This time the Ms Aileen Lynam owned finished fourth after the winner, Captain Joy, who landed the race by a neck’s margin. Settling the closest to the winner was, Harry Trotter.
The last time that Three Valleys’ gelding raced was over seven furlongs but his career debut was over a mile which means that the distance over which he has to race over today is familiar, and he has proved himself over it too.
The differences that he will need to deal with today are the break from jockey, Pat Smullen, to Fran Berry and of course the level of competition is not the same that he was exposed to earlier on.
He will need to take down his stable mate, Epic Encounter, who raced his career debut here and will be paired up with jockey, Sam James. Jim S. Bolger trained, Rigoletta, can also prove out to be threatening.
