Dermot Weld’s Purview gained an overdue first success of the season in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Navigation Stakes at Cork.
The Juddmonte-owned three-year-old looked to have a very bright season ahead of him in the spring having won on his debut at Dundalk in November.
He reappeared in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown and travelled noticeably strongly before being seen off by Delacroix, with subsequent events showing there was no disgrace in that.
Weld was patient with his charge and resisted any thoughts of going for a Classic and he was not seen again until the Meld Stakes in July, where he was narrowly beaten by Snellen and then he was well beaten in a Listed race in France.
He therefore had something to prove in this Listed race over 10 furlongs, but he was always moving with some intent in the hands of Colin Keane and the 11-5 favourite took up the running from Cadogan inside the final furlong to win by a length and a quarter.
“It was a pleasing performance and he is a very talented colt. We thought today’s race would suit him and thankfully it has worked out well. Colin gave him a lovely ride,” said Kris Weld, son of the winning trainer.
“He had only won a maiden prior to today and deserved that, as his form earlier in the year was top drawer. Things didn’t pan out in the Meld Stakes, but that can happen and he showed today what he was capable of.
“We hadn’t looked beyond today and dad will have a word with the Abdullah family and Barry (Mahon, racing manager) and come up with a plan. Hopefully it is onwards and upwards now.”
