Apple's Of Bresil

What stands out is Apple's Of Bresil's preference for normal ground conditions. On standard going, he has won 2 of his 5 races—a striking 40% win rate that suggests he knows exactly what he likes underfoot. That kind of consistency matters, especially for a horse at this stage of his career. His recent form tells the story of a consistent performer: third, second, first, tenth, second, and third again over his last six races. The run-up the field came last time out, but before that he had strung together three finishes in the placings, and the one before that was a win. This is the form pattern of a horse that shows up most days.

Connell's yard has been competitive this season with seven winners to their name, and Apple's Of Bresil appears to be among the yard's more reliable contributors. For a horse who didn't score his first win until 7 July 2024, over a year into what must have been his racing career, he has found his feet and is delivering results when it matters. He is still actively racing and still winning—exactly where his the yard want him to be.
