O’Callaghan hoping Rapid Applause can reward patience

Michael O’Callaghan is striving to restore past glories to the historic Crotanstown Stud stables at the Curragh.

The young trainer has already made giant strides since taking over the yard in July 2013 and he has high hopes for next year with exciting prospects such as Rapid Applause and Military Angel leading the way.

Both showed great promise in their juvenile campaign and could possibly develop into Classic contenders.
