What gives Labaun Lad's debut genuine interest is the yard sending him out. G M Lyons, training out of Dunsany in County Meath, has already sent out 47 winners this season — a number that tells you this is not a quiet, small operation dabbling at the edges of the sport. When a stable of that kind of firepower decides a young horse is ready to race, it tends to mean something. There is no past form to pick apart here, no course record to analyse, no finishing positions to weigh up. The first race is simply where the story starts.
