MANY thanks to Tony Lacy, Ed Prosser and the team at Keeneland for their hospitality on Saturday at the Curragh. On the day I had the great pleasure of sitting with, among others, Liz Barry for lunch.

Within hours, Liz, her son Luke and daughter-in-law Rebecca, will surely have been raising a toast to Fev Rover after she made another substantial part-repayment to her purchase price at the 2021 Tattersalls December Sale. Her new owner Tracy Farmer spent 695,000gns on the now five-year-old, and she has now enjoyed a pair of Grade 2 successes in Canada, in the Nassau Stakes and Canadian Stakes, both run at Woodbine. However, on Saturday he welcomed Fev Rover home as the latest winner of the Grade 1 Beverly D Stakes.
