Quest For Peace continues on upward curve

THE Aidan O’Brien trained Quest For Peace made a successful transition from maiden to listed company when taking the featured Lenebane Stakes in Roscommon last night.

Off the track since winning a ten furlong Leopardstown maiden back in April, the Galileo colt was produced with a well-timed challenge by Irish Derby hero Colm O’Donoghue to master the flattering Haziyna by a length and a quarter.

The winning trainer was not present but O’Donoghue commented: “He’s still a baby, but has come forward since his maiden win at Leopardstown. He picked up well and appreciated the step-up to a mile and a half. He should, keep improving as the season goes on.”
