Takar to drop in class Takar is set to drop in class after providing a dissapointment behind Power in the Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh on Saturday. Johnny Murtagh's mount was a shorter price than stablemate Born To Sea following an impressive effort in the Tetrarch Stakes, but failed to land a blow, finishing ninth of the 10 runners. "I think we'll drop him in grade now to either a Listed race or a Group Three. He didn't run as well we had hoped and I think we'll have to start again with him now," said trainer John Oxx. "I wouldn't use the ground as an excuse. He just wasn't up to it on the day. We'll try to get him back on track and then perhaps step him back up in grade later on."
