Watch: Winning debut for €1.6million son of Frankel, Old Glory, at Naas


The €1.6million son of Frankel, Old Glory, made a promising start to his career by winning on debut at Naas on Wednesday night.

Trained by Aidan O’Brien and wearing the colours of US Triple Crown hero American Pharoah's Zayat Stables, who own the horse in partnership with Coolmore, the two-year-old colt triumphed in the the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at 6/4.

Old Glory took a while to pass Erich Bloch but under jockey Donnacha O'Brien, Aidan's son, but he kept on well to win by a comfortable one and a half lengths.

The price paid for Old Glory was the highest at last year's Goffs Orby Yearling Sale and O'Brien believes there's much more to come from the hot prospect.

He told At The Races: "I'm delighted, he's a lovely horse. We thought he was ready to come racing and he would come forward plenty. The lads close to him always liked him.

"We'd like to go steady and not overdue it. We might look at the Killavullan Stakes over seven furlongs at Leopardstown, but he'll stay much further than seven in time."
