White Birch
(GB)About
White Birch is a 5yo gr unknown from United Kingdom trained by J J Murphy, who is based at Cork. It is sired by the stallion Ulysses out of the dam Diagnostic. Given that it has won at Group Two level and has amassed $637,063 in career earnings, White Birch is regarded as a very talented racehorse. On 6th May 2024 at Curragh, White Birch was ridden by C T Keane and scored its most significant win to date, getting the money in the $72000 Irish European Breeders Fund Mooresbridge Stakes (group 2), defeating Lord Massusus. It has proven a profitable horse for the punters over the journey. If you had backed White Birch throughout its career you'd have achieved a 276% return on investment.
