Farrell sees big future for Jets Calm The Jets sprang a 50/1 surprise when claiming the mile maiden at Dundalk on his official debut. The Cormac Farrell-trained colt had been third in a barrier trial at Leopardstown in late August but was easy to back on his first start under rules. Rory Cleary was soon in front on the son of Bated Breath, who was a touch keen early on. His mount ran a bit green when asked for an effort entering the straight but found plenty in the closing stages, galloping on strongly late on to record a two-and-three-quarter length win. 25/1 shot Lady Plimsoll took the runner-up spot in a race where the market principals disappointed. Farrell said: "We knew he was a very, very good horse. "We will probably aim for something like one of those Derby trials. He's green, he hung and he did everything wrong today, and he could just end up being a pretty smart horse. "He's not a Derby horse, but he's up to landing in that black-type (Group 3) company - he might be better than that. "I haven't had anything like him. "He was just weak as a baby and we minded him. We were ready for today - he definitely needed today to learn. "The family is very good. "He does (show plenty at home) and I've nothing to go with him anyway! "He ran in that barrier trial in the middle of summer and he was so weak, it was just a day away for him. "We think he has a big future. He is for sale, but we would want an awful lot of money for him because he is a very, very exciting horse. Open to offers, but we wouldn't be stressed. He's very sound and very easy to train. "We'll probably step him up (in trip) the next day. He wants further, obviously. He will get further. "He has a lovely action and I think he'd like a bit of nice ground (on turf). His next run will be on the turf." (Quotes by Michael Graham)
