Carr Upbeat Despite Defeat John Carr remains in positive mood after Sublimity returned home in good shape following his seasonal reappearance in the Boylesports.com International Hurdle on Saturday.Last season's Champion Hurdle winner travelled well for much of the race before fading into fourth behind impressive winner Osana.Bookmakers still have Sublimity at the head of their ante-post lists for a repeat success in the Champion next March and Carr retains a great deal of faith in his stable star.The County Kildare trainer said: 'He's come home fine this morning.'I was very pleased with him really. I thought he might have got close before the last but he just blew up before it.'We have something to work on now anyway, and the AIG Champion (January 27) will be next.'(C) PA Sport
