Ragged run bit too chivalrous
STRAPPING two- year- old Chivalry could be headed for a Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes start after a bustling win at Moonee Valley yesterday.
In only his second race start, the Mark Kavanaghtrained colt was beaten for speed out of the gates and was checked in the early stages before settling second last in the Quest Moonee Valley Plate (1000m).
But he made up ground along the rails at the turn before taking a run between horses in the straight to go on and score decisively.
Kavanagh said it was an important win for Chivalry ($3.20) and confirmed he is a horse of the future.
He said Chivalry would return to the paddock but how long he spends there depends on the horse’s progress.
‘‘He’ll do the talking,’’ said Kavanagh.
‘‘We have in our mind he is going to be better at three, but he is really good right now.’’
