Like mother, like son: Found's first foal Battleground shines in Vintage

Battleground won the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood. Aidan O'Brien's horse is by Found. He is a son of War Front. O’Brien is thinking of running him in the National Stake next year. The next assignment for Battleground is at the Curragh in September. The horse got mixed up at start of the season. It was a good race for him. His performance was professional. They had to rush some of their horses to get to Ascot.

Battleground is Found's first foal. Racing Post is the home of Glorious Goodwood tips and Free Bets.
