Jiffy Boy out to bag Vintage victory

“The Leicester race is filled with horses that you need to look at as well, Rousing Encore, the Richard Fahey horse, finished sixth at Ascot in the Coventry. You wouldn’t say, on paper and on form, that he’s (Jiffy Boy) not entitled to turn up and have a look.

“We deliberately missed Ascot, we felt that a bit of time would do him good. We were hoping the ground may have a bit more juice in it but you can’t have everything. The clerk of the course will do a lovely job there anyway – it’ll be good, safe, racing ground and it’ll be the same for everybody.”

Jiffy Boy will cross paths with some of the super powers of the Flat game at Goodwood and will provide Brisland with a first Group race winner if he is able to defeat them.

🥉Placed in the Brocklesby!🥉

We could not be prouder of Jiffy Boy who has ran a stormer to come 3rd, Robyn Brislands first ever runner in the race! Amazing achievement, well done to the whole team and congrats to his owners! 🔴⚪️🔵 pic.twitter.com/yAANTmH6Mp

“He’s earned his right to have a crack at something like that and that’s why we’re targeting it. His home work has been very good,” Brisland said.

“I’ve never trained a Group winner. I’ve never had one but I have had some good horses through my time. I’ve been lucky enough to work in some big yards and he fits the bill. Fingers crossed, he can put my season on track.

“It would be great, it would be fantastic to take on Aidan O’Brien with a horse we picked up for 1,500 guineas.”
