Forgotten Rules Set For Irish Leger

Dermot Weld and Forgotten Rules | Racing Post

Moyglare Stud's homebred stayer Forgotten Rules (Ire) (Nayef), on the shelf since a fourth in the G3 Curragh Cup June 28, is in “great order” ahead of the G1 Irish St Leger Sept. 13, according to Mark Weld, son and assistant of trainer Dermot Weld.

“He's had his break now,” said Weld. “He's in great order. Coming into the early autumn, if it's slow ground for the Irish Leger at The Curragh he is definitely going to take all the beating.”

A lightly raced 5-year-old, Forgotten Rules was unbeaten through his first four starts heading into the G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot June 18, where he finished third before being wheeled back at The Curragh 10 days later.

“At Royal Ascot in the Gold Cup he just didn't see [the trip] out,” said Weld. “We came back just a little too soon at The Curragh; the fact that we only had to cross the road, quite literally, was a little bit too tempting. We just went to the well a little too quickly.”
