What we do know is that the breeding is interesting. The sire, Invincible Army, was a sharp, quick racehorse himself and has made a decent start as a stallion, tending to pass on speed rather than stamina — so you would expect I Ready to be well suited to the shorter distances that two-year-olds typically tackle early in their careers. The dam's sire, Cotai Glory, was cut from similar cloth: fast, precocious, built for sprint distances. Two speed-bred parents suggests this is a horse likely to want to get on with things from the front, rather than being asked to come from behind over longer trips.
The trainer, Paul W Flynn, operates out of Colehill in County Longford and has sent out 21 winners already this season — a solid return that suggests a yard in decent form and confident enough to give a debutant its chance when the time is right. When a trainer with that kind of momentum decides a young horse is ready to run, it is usually because they have seen something at home worth being hopeful about.
