The Guineas takes place at Newmarket on Saturday. AAs long as all is well with the horse [Monday] morning, we will supplement him,@ said Angus Gold, Shadwell=s racing manager. AWe=ve been thinking about it. We didn=t put him in at the first stage because we thought it might come a bit quick for him. Mentally he was always a fizzy horse, but the team did a great job to keep a lid on him. Then he won first time out at Newmarket late in the season.@ AObviously he was impressive when he won there the other day,@ Gold added. AIt=s impossible to say what he beat, but the way he did it was visually impressive and he ran right to the top of the hill.@ Cont. p4 Dylan Browne McMonagle salutes after winning a pattern race in his first attempt aboard Baron Samedi | racingfotos.com IN TDN AMERICA TODAY Joseph O=Brien was enjoying a one-two in Navan=s G3 Vintage CADDO RIVER OUT OF KENTUCKY DERBY Crop S. on Sunday as Baron Samedi (GB) (Harbour Watch {Ire}) Caddo River spiked a fever over the weekend and is out of the upset the odds to outlast Master of Reality (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) Kentucky Derby, allowing Brooklyn Strong to enter the field. for a red-letter day for jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle on his Click or tap here to go straight to TDN America. first ride in a pattern race. Entering the 14-furlong contest with a five-pound penalty after his career-best success in the 11-furlong G2 Prix du Conseil de Paris at ParisLongchamp in October, the 20-1 shot who had won his first race off a mark of 65 only two months earlier in a 10-furlong handicap at Cork showed that he is far from finished. In last early, the bay arrived to wrest the lead from his stablemate a furlong from home and keep on strongly for a half-length success with Ballydoyle=s 8-13 favourite Santiago (Ire) (Authorized {Ire}) 4 1/4 lengths back in fourth with no obvious excuses. Brendan Powell, assistant to Joseph O=Brien, said of the winner, AHe=s one of those unbelievable horses that has kept improving. He seems to love a fight and he keeps quickening up. That=s the quickest the horse would have run on, but he said he seemed to float away on it. He just kept pulling out that bit more and you just don=t know when he=s going to stop improving. He=s filled out this year and he=s a bigger horse. You never know, he could end up going to Australia with the others.
