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