Gerry Goes For Greenlands

Tue 13 May, 04:09 PM


Sir Gerry is likely to have his next start in the Weatherbys Ireland Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh on May 24.

The James Fanshawe-trained speedster bounced back from a disappointing reappearance run in the Greenham at Newbury with a scintillating display in an Ascot Listed race.

The Gimcrack winner was set to take his chance against his elders in this week's Duke of York Stakes but suffered a slight injury at Ascot.

The Greenlands will instead work as a perfect prep for the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, according to his owner Gerry Galligan.

"He was due to run at York but he got a little cut on his leg during his race at Ascot and missed a bit of work," said Galligan.

"James has him back in flying form now, he looks magnificent.

"We have to supplement him into the Greenlands but it will be a good prep for his big mid-season target, the Golden Jubilee."
