Surface/Distance - Turf/1m

Tribal Beat kicks off his three-year-old campaign in the G3 Invesco Pension Consultants Desmond Stakes over a mile at Leopardstown, Ireland, on Thursday, August 11.

The Jim Bolger-trained colt ended a progressive juvenile campaign at the same course with a good run in the seven-furlong G3 Killavullan Stakes on October 24, when he kept on to finish second behind Blue De Vega.

He had previously made four appearances in maidens, including a facile five-length success over six furlongs at Naas on October 18.

Kevin Manning partners the son of Street Cry, who tackles seven others including last year’s G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner Hit It A Bomb and multiple G2 scorer Custom Cut.

Jim Bolger commented: “Tribal Beat is in good form. We are hoping that he can give a good account of himself and start his delayed three-year-old career.”
