No Decision on Free Eagle

Future plans are still undecided for Moyglare Stud’s Free Eagle (Ire) (High Chapparal {Ire}), who was a disappointing sixth in Sunday’s G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

“I think we were all a bit disappointed he didn’t finish a little bit closer yesterday,” Fiona Craig, breeding advisor to Moyglare Stud said Monday.

“He ran very well and I’m certainly not going to be critical of him, but the slow pace probably didn’t help and Treve hung into him a little bit, although I don’t think it made a huge difference. We’re all a bit disappointed at the moment and it wasn’t really satisfactory, but that’s racing and you get over it in a few days. Whatever happens, we’ll do the right thing by the horse. He already has a place at the Irish National Stud, so it’s just a question of whether he goes there at the end of this year or next year.”
