A TRIO of stakes races for two-year-olds in Ireland, England and Italy were run during the past week.

Porta Fortuna (Caravaggio) won the Group 3 Naas Juvenile Sprint Stakes, her second success and her second start. This is quite a family success story, as the winner is trained by Donnacha O’Brien, was owned by his mum Annemarie when she won her first start, is a son of Caravaggio (Scat Daddy) who was trained by his father Aidan, and is the first foal out of a mare, Too Precious (Holy Roman Emperor) who was trained by Joseph O’Brien.
