Haydock Preview


Colm O'Donoghue cannot wait to team up with Starspangledbanner in a race for the first time at Haydock tomorrow.

O'Donoghue rides the Australian import every day on the gallops at Aidan O'Brien's Ballydoyle stables, and comes in for the mount in the Betfred Sprint Cup as Johnny Murtagh is in action for the trainer at Leopardstown.

"I sit on him at home every day. He knows me better then I know myself! I'm delighted to get the ride and so happy that the boss has given me the chance. It's a great race and he's a very good horse," said O'Donoghue.
