BARRONSTOWN Stud’s David and Diane Nagle missed watching the Group 3 Bet365 Classic Trial at Sandown Park on Friday thanks to a delayed flight, but they had every reason to be cheerful with the outcome. The King Power Racing-owned Bangkok notched up his second success, beating Technician (Mastercraftsman) in the process.

Both three-year-old colts were bred at the Grangecon-based nursery which the couple has developed over four decades into one of the world’s finest stud farms. Barronstown Stud was established in 1980 by the Nagles, each bringing a mix of experience and pedigree to the equation.
