About

White Birch is a 5yo grey horse trained by J J Murphy. He is by Ulysses out of Diagnostic. As a stakes winner with career earnings of $1,279,855, White Birch is considered a racehorse of above‑average ability. On 2nd Apr 2023 at Leopardstown, ridden by Shane Foley, he secured his biggest victory to date, winning the $50,000.00 CL1 and beating Up And Under. The horse has been profitable for punters, and a backer who supported White Birch throughout his career would have realized a 169% return on investment.
