Ace Stud ready to Push The Boat out in Middle Park

Last Updated: Thu 17 Sep 2026

Ace Stud’s new signing Push The Boat Out is ready to put his unbeaten record to the test in the Tattersalls Middle Park Stakes, on what could prove a huge afternoon at Newmarket for the leading owners on Saturday week.

Michael O’Callaghan’s son of Kodi Bear made it two from two when landing the Group Three Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh, after which his new connections swooped for a young colt who has done nothing but impress in his short career to date.

Paul Curran, racing and bloodstock manager for the owners, said: “He looks a very exciting sort and we’ve been keeping a close eye on him since winning his maiden in such exciting fashion.

“The form around him is incredible and he’s probably one of the best form horses around. He’s relatively unexposed and he’s had two races and two wins and among the horses behind him has been the Coventry winner Great Barrier Reef who could be one of Aidan O’Brien’s nicer two-year-olds.

“He’s an exciting colt and we’re looking forward to aiming our guns at the Middle Park. His form pages do all the talking for him and we can’t wait to see him run in our colours and see what he can do.”

In the very next race Double Ace have high hopes of landing the prestigious bet365 Cambridgeshire when Winter Hill Stakes third Harmonics, as he drops back into handicap company for John and Thady Gosden.

Curran added: “The Cambridgeshire is the plan and we were happy with his run in the Group Three at Windsor, he ran nicely and he seems to be taking to his racing a little bit better now.

“He can be a bit buzzy and the day he ran at Royal Ascot he ran quite free, but he’s a nice one and hopefully he will have a nice chance in the Cambridgeshire.

“He’s learning every day he goes racing because he runs quite free and the more racing we can get into him the more he will learn what his job is.

“We’ve got the Middle Park and then the Cambridgeshire back-to-back so hopefully it could be a nice day for us.”
