23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Productive juvenile campaign over sprint distances culminated in Group 1 win here from True Love in the 6f Phoenix Stakes (good); respectable second to Thesecretadversary (received 3lb), in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown on reappearance; by no means a bad effort in the 2,000 Guineas on his first attempt at this trip, but probably more of a sprinting type. |

9st 2lb |
Juvenile campaign over sprint distances culminated in Group 1 win at the Curragh (good); held by Gstaad on Coventry running; respectable second to Thesecretadversary, who received 3lb, in 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown on reappearance but doesn't give the strong impression he'll benefit from going up further in trip; indeed, he seems more of a 6f Commonwealth Cup type. |

2nd 1 (11) |
12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 42y |
9st 8lb |
Won the first juvenile race of 2025; then third in a 5f Listed race; second to Albert Einstein in the 6f Marble Hill; fifth of 20 in the Coventry; well held in third behind True Love in the Railway Stakes; reversed form with the filly (finished slightly lame) to win the Phoenix Stakes under a positive ride; pedigree suggests he can stay 7f, ground should not be a problem. |

9st 2lb |
Showed ability in all three maiden starts at 5f-7f on soft, good and good to yielding ground; failed to beat a rival home stepped into Group 3 company at Leopardstown latest (7f, gd-yld); could do better now tackling a handicap for the first time. |

Placed on all three starts; capable of winning races; 77-rated filly has an unenviable task in this grade |

9st 3lb |
Promise both starts early last season over 5f here on soft (3.25l behind subsequent Group 1 winner Power Blue) and at Cork on good ground; has been off the track since that 2.5l third at Cork last April but that debut effort stands out and if she repeats that, she should be thereabouts. |

Some promise on Curragh debut in March but two runs since well below that level; likely more one for nurseries in due course. |

Third, beaten 7l in the opening 2yo maiden of the season over 5f here but was way below that level 12 days later at Dundalk; freshened up since and has to resume improvement. |

Lucky Vega colt a 37,000euros yearling; third foal; dam 5f/6f winner (inc 2yo/Listed; RPR 102), sister to winners Promising (Group-placed 6f) and Kaser (8.6f-10.4f); some debut promise here last month, showing pace for much of way before fading when beaten 10l over 5f; this looks a stronger maiden so lots of improvement needed. |
