Trainer Oli Cole is entering his unbeaten colt Dr Rascal in the Vincent O’Brien National Stakes after the horse secured a third straight win at the Group 2 Vintage Stakes. The decision to supplement Dr Rascal highlights the confidence in his ability to maintain an undefeated record at a major racing event.

Trainer Oli Cole is preparing his unbeaten juvenile colt Dr Rascal for the Vincent O’Brien National Stakes at the Curragh. Dr Rascal secured a third consecutive victory last week by winning the Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood.

Cole expressed satisfaction with the colt’s performance, noting the challenges Dr Rascal overcame during the race. The horse had previously shown resilience when it became loose at Ascot, and in the latest race, he maneuvered through a tight gap, reportedly one that jockey Kaiya Fraser was entitled to use, and nearly faced interference before clinching the win.

Following this success, the connections have decided to supplement Dr Rascal for the National Stakes, aiming to continue the colt’s unbeaten streak at the prestigious Curragh meeting.
