Flat Profile - Battle of Marengo


                  Battle of Marengo 3 yc Galileo – Lady Kareniena (Cliff, Peej)
      High class colt and very much on the upgrade he has won 4 of his 5 starts. He made his debut in a 7f Leopardstown maiden in August, finishing 3rd beaten 3 ¼ l behind Don’t Bother Me, then won a similar event by 11l at Gowran Park beating Flameseeker. He then stepped up in class to a 1m listed event, beating Trading Leather at Gowran Park by 1 ¾ l, and finished the season by taking a 1m group 2 at the Curragh , from Orcilgo Bay by 3 ½ l. He reappeared in the 1m 2f group 3 Ballysax stakes  at Leopardstown  recently, beating Sugar Boy by 1 ¾ l. Whilst the victory was work man like, the trainers previous winners of the race, Fame and Glory, Yeats, High Chaparral, and Galileo, suggest they usually run a very good horse, and he should take high rank this season.
