Review curragh 30th Jun

Ambivalent put up a supremely game performance to see off all-comers in the Oxigen Environmental Pretty Polly Stakes at the CurraghSun 30th Jun

Art holds off unlucky Australia

If Australia hadn't missed the break badly in the opening Barronstown Stud European Breeders Fund (C & G) Maiden he'd surely have won at the Curragh. He did 'blow the start' though and despite coming home strongly it wasn't enough to catch the neck winner, Renaissance Art. Sun 30th Jun

After race at Curragh Sat, 28th Jun, 2014 (1st)

I thought they both stayed well . the second horse (Kingfisher) wasn't stopping and the third (Orchestra) stayed well too but is still a bit weak and might be a better four year old.

A P O'Brien

After race at Leopardstown Sat, 7th Sep, 2013 (1st)

He has a great attitude and all his homework has been very good. He changed his legs and when I brought him out he quickened up very well and won eased down by six lengths. He's an exciting horse.

A P O'Brien

After race at Curragh Sat, 20th Jul, 2013 (1st)

He is still very babyish. He was slow away again and he seems to go asleep in the stalls.
