Win rate and top-3 rate will show once this horse has raced.
The trainer, Donnacha O'Brien, operates out of Ballyroe in County Tipperary, and the yard has been in excellent form this season — 31 winners already, which tells you this is not a small operation sending out the occasional hopeful. When a stable running at that kind of volume puts a first-time runner on the track, it is worth paying attention, because they tend to know exactly what they have at home before the public gets a look. Whether Self Discovery lives up to the promise of its bloodlines is something only the race itself can answer.
