GENTLE LAMB HAS GRIT TOO

LAMBOURN will try to follow in the footsteps of some of Ballydoyle's greatest when attempting to extend Aidan O'Brien's phenomenal record in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby this afternoon.

- 

O'Brien has won the Curragh showpiece a record 16 times, including in the past two seasons with Auguste Rodin (2023) and Los Angeles (2024).

And now Lambourn (above) will bid to replicate his sire Australia by following up blue riband success from Epsom on home soil.

“He's a lovely horse and, like Australia himself, an absolute gentleman,” said O'Brien.
