Inishbofin (Ire) 2021

Inishbofin is a 4yo gelding by Maxios and an Irish maiden winner on his second start for Sam Curling in the fastest time of the day.  I bought him at the Tattersalls May Point-to-Point Sale.

He has had a lovely twelve week summer break here at Webb Hill Farm.

P2P.ie said the following:

‘Inishbofin stepped forwards from his fourth-placed debut effort behind Ballycommon Boy at Dromahane last month by leading from two out with Derek O’Connor to valiantly beat promising newcomer Spring Getaway.

Inishbofin had the benefit of a previous run when coming fourth, beaten just over seven lengths, to Ballycommon Boy in a vintage Dromahane contest last month and the son of Maxios was held up close to the pace in this truly-run contest. Whilst having to be pushed along briefly approaching three out, this early May foal led narrowly from two out and he asserted in the closing stages to oblige by one and a half lengths in a race that saw some five and a half lengths cover the first four home. A chasing type that was a E36,000 foal purchase and that is out of a half-sister to Grade 2 Novice chase winning mare Scarlet And Dove from the same family as Our Connor, the bay is competent stayer with more than adequate reserves of speed and he should prove well capable of slotting in over distances in the region of two miles six furlongs with another season under his belt.’
