About

James J Braddock is a 3yo bay horse trained by J P O'Brien in Kilkenny. He is out of the dam Burkina Faso and sired by Zarak. To date, he has secured two victories, including a noteworthy win on 10 May 2026 at Leopardstown when he earned $97,999 in the Cl1 race. The horse has been a lucrative choice for bettors; backing his entire career would have yielded a 165% return on investment.
