Rarely, in Ireland at least, are first-time blinkers applied to last-time-out winners but trainer Andy Oliver’s somewhat unorthodox decision to apply them to his Sportsmaster at The Curragh today paid dividends, adding the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Derby to a recent Roscommon win. Fri 24th Jun

After race at Curragh Fri, 24th Jun, 2011 (1st) 
we just felt after his run the last day that blinkers would help him to concentrate as he's still quite an immature horse. We quite fancied him after his run last day and he stayed the trip and loved the ground. Hopefully there's plenty more improvement to come with him.

I was very hopeful coming here. He needed the run when second here last month and he was then just behind Apache (who finished third, Irish Review won that race) at the Curragh on his last start. He will step up in trip to a mile and a half now and we will go handicapping with him.
