Flynn's bargain-buy completes hat-trick Pat Flynn’s well-bought Key Witness (9/2) continued on his winning ways today, landing Cork’s Book Tickets Online At CorkRacecourse.ie Handicap and potentially providing the trainer with a Royal Ascot runner next month. Picked up for just 15,000gns last July, four-year-old Key Witness had initially scored for Flynn at the Curragh in November and having followed up at that Kildare last month, today completed a hat-trick under apprentice rider Alan Persse. Flynn reported “the story is now well known about me buying this horse at the sales, as while there were about 500 horses there, this fella walked by and I said to my wife Catherine that ‘that is a racehorse’. He was also by Acclamation so I bought him. “I might look for a race at Royal Ascot now and I think he is a seven-furlongs horse so will look at the Buckingham Palace Stakes. I thought the mile was too long for him the last day, so at Ascot it would definitely be too long. “It would appear he needs easy ground at the moment so fast ground at Ascot would be a concern but we’ll see, and if anyone wants a runner at Royal Ascot, they can find my number. If you wouldn’t buy this horse, what would they buy!”
