The four-year-old gelding’s name is Arctic Fire, and he set an important milestone for his sire Soldier Hollow today by giving him the first winner over hurdles. And he did it with ease and style! In a maiden hurdle for four and five-year-olds over 3200 m at Tipperary racetrack, Arctic Fire proved himself a solid jumper and found another gear entering the stretch to collect a 6-lengths victory for trainer Willie Mullins.
At the upcoming BBAG Fall Sales on Saturday, October 19th, we will offer a full sister to Arctic Fire named Arctic Lady (Lot 194). Their dam, Adelma, is from the successful mother-line of the German champion-miler Alkalde. |
