Amo Racing’s expensive purchase Hill Road made the perfect start to his career in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C&G) Maiden.
Kia Joorabchian’s operation paid $350,000 for the son of Quality Road and while he has some way to go to repay that sum, his entry in the Group One Vincent O’Brien National Stakes does not look fanciful after this five-length success under David Egan.
Trainer Adrian Murray said: “We’ve always held this lad in good regard.
“We had him ready early in the year and he won a barrier trial in Naas.
“We backed off him as we wanted to give him time to strengthen up and to mature and he’s all there now.
“We’ll probably come back here for the Group Two over a mile on Champions Weekend.
“He’s a very laid-back horse and takes a bit of revving up. It’s a good sign in a horse.”
