"Moyglare Stud's Fiona Craig praises Kyprios, describing him as having a massive heart"
In a heartwarming event at the Curragh Racecourse, the seven-year-old stallion Kyprios, a champion horse bred at Moyglare Stud and Coolmore, was paraded before a crowd of enthusiastic fans. This parade was a fitting conclusion for a horse that has left an indelible mark on the racing world.
Kyprios, a son of Galileo, made his comeback from illness and injury at the Irish Champions' Festival in 2023, and the crowds warmly received him then. The idea for his parade appearance before his retirement came from his trainer, Kevin Prendergast, and was enthusiastically supported by the Moyglare team and Coolmore.
The parade was not just a celebration of Kyprios's racing career but also a chance for the racing public to bid him farewell. The horse, who has resided at Coolmore since his retirement in late May, was taken back to the Curragh, the course where he made his 2023 comeback.
