2026 Flat Profile - James J Braddock

3 y bc Zarak – Burkina Faso (Cliff)

Colt who falls in to the could be any thing category, he made his debut at Navan in October last year finishing 2nd in a 1m maiden, beaten ½ l by Sugar Goodson, then won a 1m maiden at the Curragh in November beating Cannes (gave 3lb), 6l. 

Joseph told The Punter: "We’re very happy with how he has matured over the winter. He was always a big, rangy colt that was going to be a better three-year-old and you’d be delighted with him stood up in front of you now. He has been training well, and the intention is to start him off in the Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown in a few weeks. It’ll be a step up in class for him, but you don’t see many Curragh maidens won by further than he won his, so he’s earned his shot. He’s a horse with plenty of talent."

He has entries in Both English and Irish derby’s and whilst he may not reach those heights he should win some decent races this season
