Ralph Beckett confident of Talent’s success in Irish Oaks – Horseracing news
Ralph Beckett is confident that his trainee Talent will be the one to watch out for in the Darley Irish Oaks at Curragh in Ireland.
According to the veteran trainer, “She is the one to beat. The Oaks form hasn't been franked so far but it's still early days and the first two haven't run. I am happy with her. She looks terrific and is not ground dependent. I think the race will be more evenly run and that will suit her.”
He went onto say that Talent was victorious in three different races, where the track characteristics were entire different from one another. Therefore, he believes that the conditions will not make any difference to her and she will definitely cause a lot of problems for her rivals in the upcoming event.
The three-year-old filly debuted in 2012 and her performance was not bad back then. However, she did not look like a winning filly and had to settle for third place in her first ever outing. She was sent into another race before the end of the season, which she managed to win by only a neck distance after a thrilling battle with some of the other challengers.
Although the first two races were not really tough for Talent, her real test came in the next couple of events during this year, where she had to handle the pressure from some better runners. Despite that, she did not panic at all and made her team proud. Her most recent win at Epsom was the biggest one of her career until now and it will be interesting to see how well can she do in the future.
She will definitely face a tough time from Aidan O’Brien’s challengers. He is mainly pinning hopes on Venus de Milo and said about her, “This will be a big step up for Venus de Milo but she seems to be progressive and we thought after her Naas win that she deserved to take her chance. That's why she was supplemented.”
The young challenger is quite talented and has got the ability to deliver strong results at the highest level.
