Free Eagle HK Plans Undecided

Moyglare Stud homebred Free Eagle (Ire) (High Chaparral {Ire}) remains a possible contender for Hong Kong’s International meeting Dec. 13, but trainer Dermot Weld told RadioTAB he has yet to decide on a race for the 4-year-old.

“He’s due to stand at the Irish National Stud next year, but if he runs again, it’ll be in one of the Group 1s in Hong Kong,” the Irish-based conditioner told RadioTAB. “We haven’t decided which one yet; there’s the Cup and the Vase and it’ll be one or the other.”

Free Eagle, a ‘TDN Rising Star,’ won this year’s G1 Prince of Wales’s S. at Royal Ascot first-up before finishing third in the G1 Irish Champion S. He was last seen running a respectable sixth in the G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
