Trinity College
 

the name of my college made his debut today down in Cork in a 2yo maiden and won easy enough.. onto bigger and better things I hope.. hes a Coolmore horse!

Gotta love those Coolmore boys!

Let us know how he does. :)

are you guys nicknamed "The Shamrocks"?
(serious question)

never heard that nickname used for us! lots of Trinity Colleges around though!

from the racing post.. he could be very good!:D



TRINITY COLLEGE earned high praise from Kieren Fallon after theAidan O'Brien-trained colt had made a winning debut in the 7f two-year-old maiden at Cork on Monday.

Sent off the 8-11 favourite, the son of Giant's Causeway made virtually all despite showing his inexperience by pricking his ears at different stages of the race and won by one length from Sweet Peak.

Afterwards a clearly serious Fallon commented: "I'm telling you - this fellow is very good and could turn out be as good as his father. He was green, but he did the job well and I like him a lot."

It'd be great to see this colt do well. The Comely Nell clan has been real cold as of late. He's got a tremendous, classy family backing him.
