LAST weekend’s The Irish Field featured a full page advertisement on the outside back cover for Santiago (Authorized).

On the page were three outstanding foals by the Group 1 Irish Derby and Group 2 Queen’s Vase winner, and they are from the Castlehyde Stud sire’s first crop. The team in Fermoy won’t have been disappointed to see that, on Easter Monday, another son of the Group 1 Epsom Derby winner Authorized (Montjeu), I Am Maximus, was given an incredible ride by Paul Townend to win the BoyleSports Irish Grand National.
