Footsteps Set For Late Campaign

Followmyfootsteps, who ran with great credit in both the French and Irish 2000 Guineas, will not run until later in the season.

The David Wachman-trained son of Giant´s Causeway only had one run as a juvenile but has emerged as a classy three-year-old this term.

He was beaten just over three lengths behind Aidan O´Brien´s Astronomer Royal at Longchamp before finishing three lengths in arrears of dual Guineas winner Cockney Rebel at the Curragh.

He holds an entry in the St James´s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot but Wachman is keen to give him a break.

'I´ll probably put him away until August or September time,' said the County Tipperary handler.

'He has an entry in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood (August 1) but that may come just a tad too soon for him.

'He´s still very inexperienced but he has shown a high level of form already. He might just turn into a nice four-year-old.'
