    Bred in the purple Ron. Related to a triple Grade One winner in the US. Made nearly 300 grand as a yearling but moved on for only 800 guineas at Tatts Oct sale.
    Think it was with one of the top Irish yards but never made the track!

    Went away from the long time leader easily enough after the last but jumped really novicey. Bunny hopped one down the back straight and never took a cut at any of the obstacles. Will need to improve his jumping if he is to win the Triumph.

    Crikey, imagine losing that much. Horses can be a nightmare sometimes (financially, injuries etc). I'm not well up on US horses Stick. Thanks.
