AFTER defeating two of the season’s top juveniles in a Group 2 event in Ireland as a two-year-old, Dragon Pulse trained on to add a group race at Longchamp in the following season, defeating the previously unbeaten French champion Dabirsim. This handsome chesnut horse by champion sprinter Kyllachy is standing his third season in 2015 at the Irish National Stud at a very attractive fee and last autumn his first foals made prices up to €95,000 at the sales.

Never out of the first two in his two-year-old campaign when trained by Jessica Harrington, Dragon Pulse ran second on his debut, then opened his winning account in the six-furlong Glenvale Stud Stakes at Leopardstown in July. A month later, he showed an excellent turn of foot in the Group 2 Galileo EBF Futurity Stakes at The Curragh, this time over seven furlongs, coming home a length and three-quarters clear of Parish Hall, who next time out went to Newmarket to win the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes, with Power in second place.
