Staycation has Beverley option Joseph O’Brien could have a first runner at Beverley on Saturday as Staycation is in the frame for the Brian Yeardley Two-Year-Old Trophy. The son of Acclamation is well regarded by connections, though fortune has not been on his side in three starts to date. Owner Nick Bradley said: “He has plenty of ability, but he’s a bit of a character. “On his last start at Catterick he barged past two of them, and then he just stopped. He just put the brakes on. It wasn’t like he was out of energy or anything like that. “Whether it was immaturity or quirkiness, I don’t know, but I’m hoping it’s the former. “He’s got multiple entries, but the Brian Yeardley is always a good race and there’s a fair chance he’ll go, as there’s not a lot in Ireland for him for a while.” The five-furlong Brian Yeardley Two-Year-Old Trophy received 17 entries and was won last season by Cardsharp, who subsequently finished third in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot.
