ON his first start for new connections Bravery earned back his purchase price with interest when he won the Lincoln at Doncaster last Saturday. The son of Galileo was sold from Ballydoyle Stables last October at Tattersalls for 44,000gns and he won a pot of more than £60,000 at the weekend.

Not many get away from the clutches of Aidan O’Brien but this is one that has already provided a windfall for his new trainer David O’Meara. The four-year-old was bred by Aidan and Annemarie O’Brien’s Whisperview Trading and the son of Galileo was sold as a yearling to Charlie Gordon-Watson for 400,000gns, part of The Castlebridge Consignment.
