30/10/20 Raphael wins with authority in Ireland ...

The second victory of the 2020 season for RAPHAEL (Roderic O'Connor-RUSOOKH) was an easy one at Dundalk in Ireland. Bred by GRAF UND GRÄFIN STAUFFENBERG at SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN he was sold as a foal at the Goffs November Foal Sales through Abbeville Stud. He won twice in the colours of H H Sheikh Hamdan al Maktoum, before he was sold on to his current connections. Racing now for Dooley Thoroughbreds, RAPHAEL is trained by Ado McGuiness and was ridden by young Gavin Ryan.

His dam RUSOOKH has a yearling filly by GLENEAGLES named REIMAGINED, a colt foal by CAMACHO and was not covered in 2020 due to late foaling.
