Bradawn Breever
Irish Thoroughbred racehorse
Bradawn Breever (25 February 1989 – after 1994) was an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse. He showed his best form as a two-year-old in 1991 when he ran eleven times and won the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes on his eighth start. He remained in training for a further three seasons, winning further races including the Testimonial Stakes in 1993 before retiring with a record of five wins from thirty-eight starts. Apart from his victories he was placed in the Ballyogan Stakes, Flying Five Stakes, Chesham Stakes and Concorde Stakes. He did not stand as a breeding stallion.
Background
Bradawn Breever was a bay horse bred in Ireland by M Morrin. During his racing career he was owned by M A Murray and trained by Kevin Prendergast.
He was sired by Salmon Leap, a top-class middle-distance performer who won the Nijinsky Stakes, ran fourth in The Derby and was the best-placed male horse when coming home fifth in the 1983 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Despite a Timeform rating of 131, he made very little impact as a breeding stallion. Bradawn Breever's dam Ozone was a descendant of the British broodmare Wife of Bath, making her a distant relative of Silly Season, Mon Fils and Saoire.

Why this record matters
“Bradawn Breever” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Bradawn, Breever and Irish provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 31, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q48976862. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 1994, 1991 and 1993.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
