Endorsement off the mark in Tipperary curtain raiser

Having run a hugely promising race when runner-up on his introduction at Killarney in July, the Aidan O'Brien trained Endorsement went one better in the opening Camas Park Irish EBF Maiden at Tipperary. Sun 31st Aug

After race at Navan Sat, 16th May, 2026 (1st)

it was a great ride from Dylan, he is a progressive horse with a good pedigree and is by a good stallion. We are delighted to have him and today was another step forward from his win the last day at Cork. It always looked like he would get that trip and he has got some nice options ahead. We will have to discuss plans with the ownership, but I would say that is likely he could turn up in the Queen's Vase in Royal Ascot.
