With flat racing returning in the UK and Ireland, Aussie shuttler Epaulette had the first two-year-old winner of the season in Ireland on Sunday.

EpauletteStarting second favourite, the Michael O'Callaghan trained Red Epaulette was making his debut at Naas and ran out a comfortable winner by over three lengths in the five furlong maiden.

Epaulette has shuttled to Dalham Hall in England and Kildangan Stud in Ireland since retiring to stud in 2014.

Red Epaulette becomes his 38th winner in the UK and Ireland and he is enjoying a good season in Australia with 33 winners and four stakeswinners so far headed by Scarborough Stakes (Gr.3) winner Meryl.

He has also had the dual Group One winning colt Soqrat in South Africa, winner of the Cape Guineas (Gr.1) at Kenilworth in December, having also won at Group One level as a juvenile.
