Minstrel a maybe for Bold Thady Quill Ken Condon is monitoring ground conditions closely before deciding whether to commit Bold Thady Quill to Saturday's Invesco Pension Consultants Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh. The local trainer admits he would like to run the six-year-old in the Group Three contest over seven furlongs, but he will not risk the gelding if he feels the going is too quick. Should Bold Thady Quill not turn up, Condon will look at the Listed Platinum Stakes over a mile at Cork early next month. "It's only 50-50 he runs at this stage. He's a horse that shows his best form on slow ground," said Condon. "They are watering and we'll see how it is when the race is declared. He's in great form and we'd like to run him, but we want to do the right thing by him. "If we feel by the end of the week the ground is very quick, we will probably wait for the Platinum Stakes at Cork in a few weeks' time."
