P391 CEEFAX 391 Sat 1 Jul 18:52/59 TR—INES INTERVIEW: I IAN BALDING 1/6 The retirement of a star like Lochsong would affect any stable and Ian Balding's Kingsclere yard is clearly no different. However life goes on without the sprinting queen and the winners are currently flowing from Park House Stables in a most pleasing manner. The man at the helm remains a credit to his vocation, in both his dealings with horses and people. In this first part of the full interview with Balding, the handler discusses his leading olhjr horses. Interview by Michael Grinham IrishDrby Adv.Going Curragh DoncasterP391 CEEFAX 391 Sat 1 Jul 18:50/02 'n2n1 IAN BALDING: I OLDER HORSES 2/6 Wj are nearly ready to get the go- ahead again with Blue Siren after she fractured a pedal-bone before the Palace House Stakes in May. She must have been feeling it as she lashed out at the other runners when being put in the stalls though she has superb temperament, it was most unlike her to do that. All the big late season sprints are on her agenda but the Nunthorpj may conj a little too soon for her. The Breeders' Cup is possible as she won't have had too much racing and she has the nature to travel.

Piccolo's win in the King's Stand at Royal Ascot proves her form is excellent. Mocassin Run fractured a shoulder when winning on his debut at two. This season hj won a listed race at "5 Haydock but has run moderate races since, running far too freely in blinkers on the same course.

He has always been in the money this season but is quite high in the handicap so has not won yet. The handicapper has not been able to lower him in the ratings too much as hj runs so consistently. That said, hj is now on his lowest mark of the season, 95. I am giving him a break at present as hj may have two quick races, at Ascot's King George meeting and Goohwood's Stewards' Cup, in July.

He needs things to go his way a little nowadays and that is what happened when he won at Goodwood. I am sure there is still a decent race left in him although he is probably not as good as hj was. His next target is the Schweppes Golhjn Mile at Glorious Goodwood. Wj will look to give him one run before then, in mid-Jzly.

It would be lovely if hj could be back in time for Goodwood's July meeting as hj won two races at the 1:92 Festival there. Although that may be pushing it a little, hj should bj out soon. "u He is a horse with a lot of ability and we all love him hjti. He will once again run over the jumps this "5 winter, with the Champion Hurdle "5 being the long-term target.
