The staying king! KYPRIOS will not be denied in the 2022 Irish St Leger - a fifth straight success

Kyprios underlined his status as king of the staying division as he extended his unbeaten record to five in the Comer Group International Irish St Leger at the Curragh.
Winner of the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot and the Goodwood Cup on his last two starts, Aidan O’Brien’s charge was odds-on to make it a Group One hat-trick on day two of Irish Champions Weekend.
Kyprios had to be pushed along early to get into Ryan Moore’s preferred position on the heels of the leaders, but his early work paid dividends as Kyprios was able to strike for home at the top of the straight as pace-setter Jason The Militant dropped away.
It looked as though Kyprios would gallop clear, but William Haggas’ British raider Hamish emerged from the pack to make a battle of it, closing to within half a length of the winner, who was just too strong in coming home three-quarters to the good.
Search For A Song, a previous dual winner of the race and a second string for Kyprios’ owners Moyglare Stud, was a seven-length third.
O’Brien said: “He’s very tough. He’s very relaxed and is always only in the gear that you want. Ryan gave him a great ride."

This is the most humble man who always diverts the praise away from himself & hands it to others.

[@kevinmunday5782]

What an Intelligent, Humble man Aiden o brien is. Always Quick to praise His whole Team, a real Gentleman

[@johnmcglynn7311]

Hang on it wasn't too long ago he was in the papers for not paying his staff proper wages 🙄

[@akanamisue]

I love Aiden O'Brien's post race interviews as he's so thorough & gives praise where it's due. It's like pulling teeth to get North American trainers and jockeys to say more than "my horse ran well."

[@brightonscene]

How could anyone not like Aiden O'Brien? The guy is a gentleman and a genius

[@andyspry1050]

It would be interestng to see what Kyprios could do in the Arc.

[@numanoid5665]

if it came up soft I think they should run him, I think!!

[@tomgallagher7870]

I think he could go pretty well..order of st george was a stayer and ran well in the arc think he has the speed to run a cracker.

[@rodneymckee8431]

If you go through the field so many of them have questions marks against them 33/1 for a horse who has won over the distance ground won't be a problem and is in top form looks pretty good

[@tomgallagher7870]

Good shout rodney.worth a punt..be far worse bets in the race if he goes..u all set for the jumps rodney?

The Arc is one of the toughest race to win even for a true champion.I can only compare to the Kentucky Derby and the Grand National steeple chase.

Listen , lads , listen , he's got the speed to win a July cup , listen...........

[@JSB-IZ-ME]

Still don’t know how Hamish lost this, 2 out he was running all over the whole field, staying is the name of the game though so the winner must be pretty special

[@Martin.Lewis..]

‘The winner must be pretty special’ 😂😂 ‘The winner’ isn’t exactly new to the game my friend. Suggest you look back at what he’s been winning for the past 2 years! Another comment on here that lacks any sort of knowledge!!

[@JSB-IZ-ME]

@@Martin.Lewis.. The horse has only come into his own THIS season stepped up in distance for cup races and its the manner of those victories, only doing what appears to be enough without actually looking like getting beat. Hence the special comment because nothing is getting to the bottom of the horse THIS season. Thanks for your uneducated reply nonetheless 👍🏻.

[@danielkeane1363]

I wonder how he would do in a champion hurdle

The Labour Court has rejected an appeal brought by Ballydoyle, the State's leading racing stables, against compliance notices served by the Workplace Relations Commission over alleged excessive working hours on the part of some staff. In the course of an inspection in May 2016, a Workplace Relations Commission inspector found a number of breaches of the Organisation Working Time Act. These involved the failure to provide sufficient breaks and rest periods for a number grooms and exercise riders. In February last year the inspector issued four compliance notices against Ballydoyle in relation to his findings. The inspector maintained there had been a failure to grant daily rest periods of 11 hours to three named employees; a failure to grant three employees a weekly rest period of 24 hours in each of four consecutive weeks; a failure to grant four named employees two rest periods of at least 24 consecutive hours each in a week following a week in which they had not received a single weekly rest period of 24 consecutive hours; and a failure to grant four named employees a weekly rest period that included a Sunday in any four specified weeks in May 2016. Last summer, Golden Dale Unlimited Company, trading as Ballydoyle Racing, brought an appeal to the Labour Court against the compliance notices served on it by the inspector. Ballydoyle contended it was exempt from provisions of the legislation because its staff were engaged in agricultural activities.
