Carry The Flag
Carry The Flag is a two-year-old on the rise, showing the kind of upward trajectory that makes young horses worth watching. With two wins from seven races, it has found the winner's enclosure at a decent rate—winning roughly one in every three or four attempts—and recent form suggests the horse is learning fast. In its last six outings, it has won twice, finished second once, and placed in the money three times. That's solid consistency for a horse still finding its feet.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The colt really comes alive on normal, standard ground. On those surfaces it has won two of three races, a 67 per cent win rate that stands out sharply against its overall record. Both victories have come at Naas—the first back in May, and most recently on 4 July. That track suits it, and after winning just five weeks ago, the horse is clearly being kept active and sharp. Raced just yesterday, Carry The Flag is in full work and still climbing the curve.
A P O'Brien's Cashel yard has sent out 125 winners this season alone, the kind of operation that knows how to train young talent through to better things. For a two-year-old to be winning races and showing form this consistently suggests the foundation is there. Watch this one on normal ground at Naas especially—that is where it has shown it can win.
