The TDN has solicited the opinions of some prominent figures on the European bloodstock scene to answer three questions about the upcoming Flat season. Today's installment features the thoughts of trainer Amy Murphy:
Horse you are most looking forward to seeing this season?
AM: As always at this time of year everyone is very excited, we are all hoping we have a nice horse or two for the season ahead. In terms of horses I am looking forward to seeing this season, one would be Coronet (GB) who looked very good in both of her wins as a juvenile, especially in the [Listed] Zetland [S.]
A stallion who could feature prominently (doesn't have to be first season)?
AM: Looking at the first-season sires, the obvious one would be Camelot (GB), who has all the credentials to make it as a stallion. However, I also really liked the Epaulette (Aus) yearlings at the sales last autumn.
Positive change you would like to see for the industry in 2017?
AM: We need to make becoming an owner an attractive process and as easy as possible. I would like to see the process of administering and of registering new owners to the sport simplified. I am aware things are currently being done which can only be positive.
