Weld decision will not be a Casual one
by Oli Skehan , 13 May 2008

Dermot Weld

Casual Conquest's connections will make a decision later in the week as to where the Leopardstown Derby trial winner will run next.

Dermot Weld insisted that all options are open for the Moyglare Stud-owned colt and that supplementing him for the Epsom Derby at a cost of £75,000 is not out of the question but that his most likely target is the Prix du Jockey-Club at Longchamp.

"We will sit down over the next few days and discuss plans. All the possibilities will be reviewed and a decision will be made later this week. I'm aware of the importance of keeping the public informed, but nothing has really changed from what I said on Sunday," Weld told the Racing Post.

"Casual Conquest has come out of the Leopardstown race exceptionally well. He enjoyed a sand roll this morning [Monday] and we are very happy with him."

Setanta readers' comment of the day

“Storm in a tea cup. Dementieva's English isn't 100% and her comments have been totally misinterpreted. There was no suggestion of a fix at all. All she meant was that the championship would be decided between the sisters. Not that Serena or Venus would conspire to fix the result. Lost in translation anyone?”
