O'Sullivan's Bad Boy comes good at Navan The Ross O'Sullivan trained Bad Boy Rizz opened his account at the fifth time of asking when winning the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Navan. Sent off 3/1, the Eleanora Kennedy owned colt put his previous experience to good use, making all under Colin Keane. Quickening up over a furlong out, Bad Boy Rizz went right away inside the final furlong to win eased down by two-and-a-quarter lengths. Ross O'Sullivan said: "We got him from Katie (Walsh, wife) and he's a horse that she loved. He was kind of showing that he had a good attitude and that he was a nice horse. "She kind of thought that he would suit Eleanora (Kennedy, owner). Eleanora was looking for a horse to replace Warrior Brave and this horse came along. It was nice to have a bit of inside information from Katie! "I was very impressed with the way he quickened today and Colin said the same. I was worried about the ground, but Colin said that he handled it well. "It is lovely to have him because he has a bit of size and scope to him, so could make actually a lovely horse for next year. It is (good to get the win as a juvenile) and put him away now. "Hopefully, Eleanora will be back next summer to enjoy him. He could run in those better kind of sprints and things like that. Hard for a three-year-old, but there are a few options in the springtime that he can go for. "Lovely horse to go for." Additional reporting by Michael Graham.
