About

Mission Central is a 3yo gelding trained by A P O'Brien in Ireland. Sired by No Nay Never out of the mare Thar She Blows, the horse has secured five wins so far. Its most notable victory came on 18 Oct 2025 at Ascot Park, where it won the $335632.00 Qipco British Champions Day prize. Over its career the horse has been profitable for bettors; backing it throughout would have delivered a 132% return on investment.
