About
Preparations is a 5yo bay trained by A. Slattery in Tipperary. He is by Mastercraftsman out of Marvellous Ways and has recorded two victories to date. On 10 April 2025 at Limerick he secured his biggest win, collecting $12,000.00 in MDH. The horse has proven rewarding for bettors; a lifelong backing would have delivered a 13% return on investment.
