Gordon Lord Byron back to best

Monday 18 July 2016, 7:17am

Veteran Irish sprinter Gordon Lord Byron has claimed a Group Three win at the Curragh to prompt talk of further travel.

The eight-year-old has won races in England, France and Australia where took out the 2014 Group One George Ryder Stakes at Rosehill.

"I didn't think there was a Group One horse in against him and, on his day, he's still a Group One horse," trainer Tom Hogan said.

"In his work he showed that he was as good as ever.

"He's had lifelong problems with allergies, and in the spring we thought we were losing the battle.

"He'll probably come back for a Group Three here in August (Phoenix Sprint Stakes), and he'll go back to Haydock for the Sprint Cup.

"If we get invites, he may go on his travels again."
