O'Brien's (pictured) all conquering operation has been struggling in recent months and several of his runners ran disappointingly at Leopardstown on Saturday on the opening day of Irish Champions Festival before he enjoyed some respite with Sun Goddess’s victory at the Curragh yesterday, 11-8 favourite Constitution HIll found both Hotazhell (50-1) and Wimbledon Hawkeye (33-1) too good in the featured Irish Champion Stakes while his two other runners Lambourn and Hawk Mountain finished second last and last. Derby winner Christmas Day (7-4f) was also a big disappointment at Doncaster in the St Leger while several other runners ran flat with his only winner coming when Darkness Falls took the Group 1 Golden Fleece. "It's an unusual thing, Christmas (Day) coughed going to the start yesterday and that's one of those things that you're never prepared for. "Obviously for the last couple of months, we've kind of been fighting a very low-grade infection through the whole place, all the horses, two-year- olds and three-year-olds. "It pops up every now and then, in their bloods, in their scopes, you can't be sure where it is. But obviously before we run any horse they're always scoped to make sure they're perfect but you don't know. "Sometimes when you travel with them it brings it out and obviously he was a little bit under the weather when that happened. He won't run any more this year. "It's one of those things, it has been there for a couple of months, we're dealing with it, you have to keep it going. No horses ran that we weren't one hundred percent sure about but Aidan: Stable infection has taken big toll Brave showing sees star Com’ good SCAND’& DELIVER GARY CARSON SCANDINAVIA cemented his status as the king of the staying division with a hard-fought victory in the Comer Group International Irish St Leger. Winner of the St Leger at Doncaster on this weekend 12 months ago, the Justify colt had continued his progress by winning each of his previous four starts this season including the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in June and his second Goodwood Cup the following month. The four-year-old was a 4-11 shot to extend his overall winning sequence to eight in the Irish Flat season’s final Classic and, while his stablemate Queenstown proved a tough nut to crack on the front end, Scandinavia eventually wore him down and was ultimately well on top as he passed the post two lengths to the good. Aidan O’Brien, who enjoyed a one- two-three as Jan Brueghel made late gains to pick up the bronze medal, said of Scandinavia: “He’s a great horse. He just has an unbelievable amount of stamina. He’s a big, high cruiser and we were delighted to have Queenstown there today to keep going along. “He (Scandinavia) just goes along there and he really only kicks in after a mile-and-six, which is very unusual. “He was trained for Ascot for the Gold Cup and then to do FAMILIAR FEELING Scandinavia and Ryan Moore win and (right) Moore and Aidan O’Brien celebrate O’Brien’s peerless colt cruises at Curragh infection through the whole place, all the horses, two-year- olds and three-year-olds.

But obviously before we run any horse they're always scoped to make sure they're perfect but you don't know. "Sometimes when you travel with them it brings it out and obviously he was a little bit under the weather when that happened. He won't run any more this year.

No horses ran that we weren't one hundred percent sure about but FAMILIAR FEELING Scandinavia and Ryan Moore win (right) Moore and Aidan O’Brien and Aidan O’Brien celebrate these other things. The ground is as soft as he wants it, he’s a very good mover as well. Ryan (Moore) gave him a great ride.” When asked whether the Prix du Cadran at ParisLongchamp could be next, the trainer: “It’s possible. When Ryan came in there he said ‘what about the Cadran for the second horse, to give him a chance’. “The third horse could go to Ascot for the two-mile race (Long Distance Cup) and then we could put him (Scandinavia) away for Ascot next year. “You could go to France and the ground could be bad for him. I don’t want to abuse him either because he’s a made Gold Cup horse. He floats on fast ground.” O’Brien appeared particu- larly pleased with the performance of Jan B r u e g h e l , w h o had been off the track since Royal Ascot. “We thought he’d get very tired. He was sick enough and he was off for a good while,” he said. “He was just about ready to start today but we knew if he was going to go to Ascot he had to start today. “He does stay very well and he’s a classy horse and handles an ease in the ground. You’d have to be delighted with him.” Earlier, O’Brien’s Sun Goddess further enhanced her huge reputation with a runaway victory in the Moyglare Stud Stakes. The filly had won four of her six previous starts, a record which includes a Group One victory against the boys in last month’s Phoenix Stakes and a demolition job in a valuable sales race at York on her latest outing. Despite some concerns about the overall form of the Ballydoyle team, the daughter of Sioux Nation was the 4-7 favourite to notch a second top-level success on her first attempt at seven furlongs. GARY CARSON COMANCHE Brave and Billy Loughnane (right) swooped late to supplement their July Cup success with victory in the BAR 1 Betting Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh. Dropping back to five furlongs on his first start since his Group One breakthrough at Newmarket nine weeks ago, Donnacha O’Brien’s sprinter was the 5-2 favourite to double his top-level tally. Loughnane gave his mount plenty of time to find his feet off the frenetic early pace, but he could be spotted travelling ominously well in behind Amer- ican Affair approaching the final furlong. His supporters will have been anxious for a few moments as he waited for the gap to appear, but when it did Comanche Brave quickly sealed the deal, acceler- ating away to score by a length and a quarter from American Affair, with another British raider in Rumstar a close-up third. O’Brien said: “He was very good and Billy gave him a lovely ride. The horse is getting better, Billy said five (furlongs) was definitely his trip. I was worried about the ground today but obviously that wasn’t any problem. “He’s just a very, very good fast horse. There is a lot of Holy Roman Emperor in him looking at him - he’s not over-big but he’s very strong. “I think there is a chance he might stay in training again next year, which would be great as well. “I think he’s a horse that is getting better the whole time. “He ran in Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia and he still has his passport, so I’m sure we’ll travel this winter.” Dublin City Council Large Scale Residential Development Urban Life (BMD) Ltd. intend to apply for Permission for a Large-Scale Residential Development (LRD) at a site at Beaumont Road / Beaumont Grove / Grace Park Court / Ellenfield Road, Beaumont, Dublin 9.
