Thoroughbred Profile: Irish You Well

Multiple graded stakes placed colt, Irish You Well started his career as a 2-year-old in September of 2013 and is a placed turf horse as well as stakes winner on the dirt. Bred in Kentucky by Dell Hancock and Bernie Sam, and owned by Donegal Racing, Irish You Well does best in races where he is positioned directly behind the pacesetter and seems to prefer the shorter distances.
