    THURSDAY, 4 JULY 2019 MADHMOON TO DROP BACK IN TRIP MOONLIGHT CLOUD SISTER G1 Investec Derby runner-up Madhmoon (Ire) (Dawn SHINES IN DEAUVILLE Approach {Ire}) is set for a mid-season break followed by a drop in trip after running fourth in last weekend=s G1 Irish Derby. Madhmoon sat midpack and well off the runaway leaders Sovereign (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Norway (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in the Irish Derby but never made a serious bid. "We don't really know what to make of the Irish Derby," said Angus Gold, racing manager to owner/breeder Sheikh Hamdan. "There's no question we'll now bring him back in trip. At no stage was I convinced he was a mile-and-a-half horse. I can't say he didn't stay it because he finished second in the Derby, but I think he'll be more effective over a mile and a quarter. "It was a non-event for us,@ Gold said of the Irish Derby. AThe plan was to try to track Ryan [Moore on Anthony Van Dyck] and try to quicken past him, but Chris [Hayes] said Ryan never took him into the race and we couldn't get past him in any case.@ "While Anthony Van Dyck did run on into second, he never travelled especially well and Broome was always out the back, Floret, a half-sister to Moonlight Cloud | Arqana so maybe they were all a bit flat after Epsom--who knows?@ Cont. p3 Floret (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) (lot 210) was the standout of the Arqana Summer Sale catalogue, being a half-sister to the four- time Group 1-winning miler Moonlight Cloud (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}), and she fulfilled her potential in the ring when scooped up by Tony Nerses on behalf of Imad Al Sagar for i380,000 on Wednesday.
