Curragh Race 1 - Topgear At Capital Stud Irish European Breeders Fund Maiden
Robson De Aguiar and Amo Racing provide several for the first two-year-old contest of 2026. Persian Force colt FORCE NOIR (2) is the choice of retained rider David Egan which could be telling. Must be at the top of the pecking order. EQUUS VICTOR (2) is the first son of Blackbeard to hit the track. Every chance he can make a good impression. Fancied to go close. WHAT A GIRL WANTS (9) is a well-related filly out of useful mare Hoodna. Likely to be contending along with stablemates BULL SHARK (1) and BALLINEA STAR (8). RULER'S CONTROL (7) also makes some appeal on pedigree out of a Juddmonte-owned filly.
