Super Sleuth waits on 11th hour decision
Brian Meehan is playing his cards close to his chest over the possible inclusion of Super Sleuth in the 2009 Irish 1,000 Guineas.
Meehan’s charge finished an impressive third at the Newmarket 1,000 Guineas, and the trainer has suggested that ground conditions at the Curragh will ultimately determine whether or not Super Sleuth has a second crack at 1,000 Guineas glory.
“Myself and the owners have been discussing it and we will decide on Tuesday morning whether to supplement Super Sleuth for the Irish 1000 Guineas,” Meehan said on his official website.
“She ran a fabulous race on ground that we feared may be plenty sharp enough for her at Newmarket, and we feel she may try her luck at the Curragh.”
“She has taken her Newmarket exertions very well and she will appreciate the easier ground,” Meehan concluded. “We think she will ultimately stay further so she should also appreciate the stiff mile.”
Meehan will be hoping that Super Sleuth will show the turn of speed that saw her close in on Ghanaati in the final furlongs of the English 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket a fortnight ago.
