Lot 37
Defence Witness (IRE) Br.G.

This impressive debutant winner had obviously plenty of confidence behind him being sent off a warm order favourite in a 4 & 5 year old maiden with runners from the major sale producing yards represented. The result obviously justified the faith in him as he turned in an exceptional performance. Travelling strongly up with the pace from the drop of the flag, jumping impressively and going to the head of affairs after the open ditch, he was sent for home from two out and readily came clear to win by an ever extending 20 lengths from the second horse a E58,000 store. It is noticeable that the race was the quickest time of the day by 20 seconds of the 2m 4 contests. The exciting son of Court Cave was one of the most visually impressive 4yr old performances delivered this season and potentially has a huge future going forward with a pedigree to match.
