Reports in which Jack The Bachelor (IRE) was mentioned

In-form Thorne on a roll with Jack The Bachelor

Stephen Thorne gave a good shout to Jack the Bachelor after saddling a winner in Leopardstown last night and the Mehmas colt vindicated his faith in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Rated Race in Cork. Fri 25th Jul

Howd'yadoit sheds maiden tag under Gary Carroll

Having been placed on all three previous starts, the Ger Lyons trained Howd'yadoit registered a first career success when staying on late under Gary Carroll to land the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Down Royal. Fri 18th Jul

Kansas makes the breakthrough in first time cheekpieces

Kansas made the breakthrough in first time cheekpieces, as he took the opener at Tipperary, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden. Wed 02nd Jul

After race at Cork Fri, 25th Jul, 2025 (1st)

He is bred in the purple speed-wise which caught our eye at the breeze-up sale and he also came highly recommended from Roger O'Callaghan's Tally-Ho Stud from who we buy a couple of breezers every year. He has an awful lot of natural speed, but might have needed the first couple of runs to get into the proper racing system. I now feel he has the talent to jump up to stakes level as he has a lot of natural speed and is a top-of-the-ground horse. Jack gave him a lovely ride, the horse settled lovely and he kicked at the right time.
