Robson De Aguiar

Amo Racing's Force Noir (Persian Force) was named a TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard, after a visually impressive display at Naas on Monday. The Robson Aguiar-trained colt had previously shown a battling attitude when beaten a head after attempting to make all on heavy ground in the season's opening juvenile contest at the Curragh last month. Benefiting from much drier conditions in Monday's Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden, he made no mistake the second time around. In doing so, he became the second winner and first TDN Rising...

Saturday's two-year-old maiden at Navan boasted Charles Darwin, Camille Pissarro, River Tiber and Aesop's Fables as it's last four winners and the latest renewal taken by Tribeca (Blue Point) will be worth further study. "He's a nice horse. He's still babyish, he's still green and I don't know how quick he is yet," trainer Robson De Aguiar said. "He's an end-of-April foal and he has a lot to improve. A big, strong horse and I'd say he has a bright future. He has a very good mentality for a Blue...

The word was out for the Robson De Aguiar-trained Maria Quiteria (Churchill) at Dundalk on Friday evening and the filly lived up to all expectations with a command performance. Sent off the 4-9 favourite for the five-furlong two-year-old maiden won 12 months ago by Starman's Lady Iman, the €25,000 Goffs Orby Book 1 graduate was on the front end from the outset under Donagh O'Connor and hit the line with 4 1/4 lengths to spare over stablemate Belle Island (Ubettabelieveit). "Maria Quiteria is a nice filly who has shown a lot...

While she may not be heading to any Triple Crown races, Amo Racing's progressive filly Blanc De Blanc (Not This Time) was taking all the qualifying points available with a command performance in Friday's Patton Race at Dundalk. Shaping with more professionalism than on her winning debut over this mile and course last month, the Robson De Aguiar-trained 7-2 favourite was able to track stablemate Flanker Jet (Oasis Dream) before striking a furlong out. Pushed out to the line by Donagh O'Connor, she registered a three-length verdict over Whatchadoin (Starman). "She's...

Racing for the first time since costing Amo Racing $575,000 at the 2024 Keeneland September Sale, Blanc De Blanc (Not This Time) made the perfect start at Dundalk on Friday. In front after the first three furlongs of the mile fillies maiden on the evening fixture, the 9-4 second favourite drifted right in the straight but kept producing for Donagh O'Connor to score by a neck from Astronomically (No Nay Never). Amo Racing's representative Ryan McElligott said of the Robson De Aguiar-trained winner, "You can see by the size of her,...
