Griffin confident in Admiral stamina Eoin Griffin has no stamina worries about Admiral Barry in the totesport.com Cesarewitch at Newmarket on Saturday. The County Kilkenny trainer feels the five-year-old's ability to win over two miles at Galway in particular will stand the ante-post favourite in good stead for the extra distance in the marathon handicap. "We're very happy with the way things went with him over the summer. The transformation from the early part of his career has been nothing short of miraculous," said Griffin. "We're delighted to be going there for such a competitive handicap and it will be his last run of the season. Hopefully he can run a good race for us. "Chris Hayes will ride him and he's got on quite well with him. He's been on him at home and has ridden him on a number of occasions and we're keeping the partnership intact. "He's not won on him yet but hopefully he can put that right on Saturday. "The horse has been amateur ridden for his last three wins, but he's run well for Chris and I'm more than happy to have him on board. "I don't think the trip will be a problem, although it will be the first time going above two miles. "He's won over two miles at Galway and that is quite a test of stamina. I don't think the trip or stamina will be an issue. He relaxes quite well through his races," he told At The Races.
