A TOP-CLASS performer, Derrinstown Stud’s Awtaad is quite possibly the best value stallion at stud. He combines exceptional good looks with a fine race record, and he transmits his best qualities to his stock. While he has been doing well with his runners, he was just missing a very good winner, and now he has that too.,

As a racehorse himself, Awtaad (Cape Cross) won five races and was only once out of the first four in nine starts, and he is consistently delivering winners, nine of them at stakes level, from his first three crops. Trained by Kevin Prendergast for his owner-breeder, the late Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, at two Awtaad won a maiden over seven furlongs at Leopardstown by two lengths.
