Arc Bleu fine after Plate success
Jun 30 2008 by Chris Wright, Liverpool Daily Post
TRAINER Tony Martin will target his Northumberland Plate winner Arc Bleu at both Flat and National contests.
The Irish handler reported his seven-year-old, who was originally declared as a reserve for the 2m handicap at Newcastle before swooping late to triumph, came out of the race well.
Martin said: “He’s come out of the race well, as far as I know, he’s still in Newcastle.
“He’ll be coming home later today. I’ve got a man with him who says he is very happy with him.
“Hopefully we’ll keep mixing hurdling with the flat. We’ll have a look and see what is about for him.
“We’ll just see how he gets home and how he is and see where we go in a few weeks. He’s a very versatile horse. He’s won on soft ground and he goes on fast ground.
“Adrian (Nicholls) gave him a great ride and everything worked out right.”
