A trainer, managing just a pair of horses, achieved a significant victory alongside his jockey brother as Oscars Brother triumphed in the Boodles Florida Pearl Novice Chase at Punchestown. Despite facing competition from prominent stables like Gordon Elliott and Henry de Bromhead, as well as Rocky’s Diamond, who finished fourth in the 2025 Stayers’ Hurdle, Connor King guided Oscars Brother to success with the help of his brother Daniel.

Maintaining a leading position throughout the race, Oscars Brother, the 7-4 favorite, showcased skillful jumps to secure a three-length victory over Koktail Divin from De Bromhead’s stable. Prior to this triumph, Oscars Brother had prepared for the challenging three-mile contest on soft to heavy ground at Galway.

The duo now aspires to nurture Oscars Brother into a Grade One contender at their stable, which currently houses only one other racehorse. Daniel expressed his delight at winning for his brother, emphasizing the horse’s positive development and competitive spirit. Looking ahead, the Grade One Faugheen Novices’ Chase at Limerick during the Christmas period is being considered as a potential target for Oscars Brother’s future races.

Reflecting on the horse’s progression from hurdles to chasing, Connor, a former jockey, expressed optimism about Oscars Brother’s capabilities. Considering the success in the Boodles Florida Pearl Novice Chase, Connor highlighted the potential of aiming for prestigious races like the Grade One Faugheen Novices’ Chase at Limerick.
