De Aguiar registers second success Robson De Aguiar registered a second training success today, as Square Necker (8/13f) impressively scored on yard debut in Dundalk’s Floodlit Fridays At Dundalk Stadium Maiden, scoring under English Derby-winning jockey Wayne Lordan. The gelded three-year-old had finished third on his Doncaster debut last March and today, on his first start for 263 days, raced prominently throughout before scoring readily by 3.75 lengths from 93-rated Nuit. De Aguiar, formerly assistant to Adrian Murray and who has now taken over the training of Amo Racing’s horses, wasn’t present and Lordan reported "the winner of his Doncaster race is now rated 104, so he ran to a good level and I'd say he just came forward, and going up to a mile and a-half is a plus." “He was very straightforward, stays well and he’s a nice horse who handles out there well. I think he will improve again. "I didn't want to start racing too early today so company from Nuit was fine, I didn't mind.” He added “Robson knows what to do and he had him right. He told me that he was doing everything well at home. He said he hadn't run in a while, but he will improve. "I think he's better at a mile and a-half. When you go that trip, he has a bit of class to travel through the race well. When you let him down, he stays.” Quotes from Michael Graham
