  • Purchaser: Gordon Elliott Racing / Bective Stud
  • Price: £250,000

A most impressive debut winner at Ballycrystal. Winning by twelve lengths and eight lengths on debut does little to underline the dominance of the performance as this fellow never really came out of second gear. Given the testing conditions on the day it was clear that this son of Kayf Tara hit the line much stronger than any of the other winners and with real conviction. It is difficult to assess just how much he could have found it required as he was coasting through the gears to win this debut effort. His dam was a three times winner for Jonjo O’Neill and J P McManus and the family extends back to Dramatist, Battlecry and Miss Orchestra. A Derby Sale purchase he is a fine individual with a bright future and the consignor has offered many top horses at public sale including Rapid Escape, Andy Dufresne and Elegant Escape.
