Ikarak
Race entries
Training Update (November): After a fantastic season, Ikarak has settled in nicley with Olly Murphy. We are delighted to have Olly on board. Please find below a video of him schooling.
Here's his profile video:
He won an Auteuil Chase over 4400m. Auteuil is 'the Cheltenham' of France and victories around there are very hard to come by. The step up to 2m 6f really seemed to suit that day, having previously placed 2nd at Auteuil over 2m1f.
He’s a huge horse, almost 16.3 so it should be no surprise regarding the upping in distance suiting him. He plugged through the heavy ground in his latest victory, jumping and galloping his rivals into submission, to win cosily by 2.5 lengths. (Watch that race in the gallery.) He looks a high-class staying chaser, in the making.
Walk and Trot:
We’ve been able to secure him via the Auctav Sales platform for €50,000 and we think he represents incredible value and we can’t wait to see him on track. He vetted perfectly well and came very well recommended by Toby Jones, who bought our Graded performer Red Risk for us, from France.
