O’Brien, coach at Annabelle and Stephanie Garrett’s Postage Stamp Farm, said,” I’m going to Pine Meadows quickly, therefore I wanted to get as much time out there on the lawn as I was and get the horses used to the different atmosphere. ” With his range, it’s really simpIe for him to do the si𝑥 into the double, which I was definitely the first to do. It’s like a great field as well, you may stay rolling”.

Fellow Irishman Paul O’Shea ( IRL ) rode Hellcat to second in 30. 46 seconds for owner Team Eye Candy.

Lebanon’s Jad Dana ( LBN ) rounded out the podium in 30. 67 seconds riding Fleur de- Lis ‘ Cherie, owned by The Cherie Group. &nbsp,

Estoril Delle Roane enlisted in Postage Stamp Farm in September of 2023 as a support for Stephanie Garrett to advance to the aspiring rates. ” He’s so brave and there’s honestly not a single person I would n’t trust him with”, continued O’Brien. He has turned out to be a very particular horse in our barn, and Postage Stamp Farm has made me extremely happy for giving him the ride this week.

While she is apart from her college, O’Brien assumed charge of her scholar, and she will do so during ESP Spring III. &nbsp,

After being the original journey of Italy’s Paolo Adamo Zuvadelli, Estoril Delle Roane has established himself in the Postage Stamp Farm home.
