O’Brien praises Sir Erec ahead of Leopardstown

Piltown Trainer Joseph O’Brien is looking forward to seeing his smart juvenile hurdler Sir Erec back in action at Leopardstown this weekend.

He goes in the Grade 1 Tattersalls Ireland Spring Juvenile Hurdle today at the Dublin Racing Festival.

Sir Erec was a smart performer on the flat – finishing just a couple of lengths behind Stradivarius in a Group 2 race at Ascot last October.

Joseph O’Brien, son of Rosegreen’s Aidan, says Sir Erec is good form and he rates him highly.
