Gradoux

Gradoux is a 2-year-old in early days at the Ballyroe yard of Donnacha Aidan O'Brien, a trainer who has already sent out 31 winners this season. The horse made its debut a day ago and finished sixth — a typical opening run for a young horse still learning the job. With only the one race under its belt, there is little to go on yet, but it will have gathered valuable experience from getting out on the track. O'Brien's yard is clearly in good form, and Gradoux will have time to develop and show what it can do as it gains more racing.
