PAST PURCHASES
Ri An Rian (2013) – SOLD
I bought this French bred gelding by exciting jumps sire Montmartre at The record breaking Derby Sale in Fairyhouse. He was lot 192 named Fun And Fantastic but that of course can be changed. Montmartre is the sire of Grade 1 jumpers, Labaik, Capitaine, Kalkir and Petite Parisiene and by sire of jumps sires, Montjeu, father to Fame And Glory, Authorized, Camelot & Scorpion. His damsire, Xaar is also that of English and Irish derby winner, Harzand.
De Young Warrior (2013) – SOLD
De Young Warrior is a 5yo gelding by Schiaparelli (who's offspring have a whopping 42% strike rate over hurdles from his first 3 or 4 crops) and a proper imposing chasing type standing at 16'3 bred and owned by the Reveley family and trained by Gillian Boanas. He earned an Rpr of 90 for his first appearance in a bumper at Uttoxeter and to say he was green is an understatement. He is clearly taking time to fill his frame and the race he ran was full of promise. The winner is unbeaten in 4 starts now and you will see from the video how this horse was green as grass particularly going past the stands first time and looked booked for 5th spot with only 3f to run only to come home fastest of all.
Lochinver (FR) 2014 – SOLD
Lochinver (FR) is one-from-one in a UK point to point bumper at Alnwick. This 4yo French bred gelding made all to win by 6 lengths in heavy ground beating a subsequent winner from a very shrewd yard. Absolutely crucially, and I have been hammering this point to the UK point supporters, 4 of the first 5 home were unexposed 4yo’s and that gives the form so much more strength than the all age maidens.
Goldencard (IRE) 2013 – SOLD
We brought Goldencard over from Ireland with the intention of running him in a Point-to-point after seeing his encouraging form in 3 Irish points with Denis Murphy, first handler of Finian's Oscar. The first of which is extremely eye-catching.
Timcoda 2013 – SOLD
Timcoda is a 5yo gelding by Milan (Sire of Grand National Winner, One For Arthur, who I bought after running in 5 Irish maidens). His dam is a half-sister to the great Champion French staying chaser, Mid Dancer, who won an amazing 25 races, including 5 Grade 1’s and £2.6million!
Charniere (2015) – SOLD
Charniere is an unraced 2yo gelding by Pivotal from a good strong staying Black Type family who I secured at the Tattersalls Horses In Training Sale. His 1/2 brother was beaten only a length in The Ebor and Caulfield Cup & 8 lengths in a Melbourne Cup for Brian Ellison...
Some Day Soon (Ire) 2013 – SOLD
Some Day Soon (Ire) is a 4yo gelding by Robin Des Champs (sire of Vautour, Sir Des Champs and Quevega) who I secured at the Goffs Horses In Training Sale. He was a Land Rover Store Sale graduate and has been in training with Patrick Flynn in Waterford...
Turning Gold – SOLD
I bought Turning Gold at the Tattersalls Newmarket Horses In Training sale. He is a proper size for jumping, 17hh and by a sire I love and a good record for transferring ability from flat to hurdles in Pivotal. I bought Turning Gold at the Tattersalls Newmarket Horses In Training sale...
Battle Anthem – Sold
Battle Anthem is a 6yo Royal Anthem gelding who has won 3 Irish point to points since the end of October from 6 runs and was placed on the other 3 occasions. The beauty of buying a horse with this sort of profile is the form has become clearer with a couple of eye-catching efforts that now look very good.
