3th victory for Summer Star!

Summer Star, the first product of our mare Summer Stage, has won another race! This time, she has beaten the 16 other riders in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Handicap Hurdle. The 20000 € race took place at the big day of the Irish Gold Cup on Saturday the 9th of February. Her Jockey, Katie Walsh, daughter of trainer Ted Walsh, rode with a cautious attitude. She waited with Summer Star in last position and placed an acceleration at the beginning of the last 500 m. She passed easily the whole squad and won very convincingly. Super race Katie! Summer Stage, the dam of Summer Star, will soon give birth to a product of Rock of Gibraltar and will afterwards be covered by the Coolmore stallion Power. Power is among other the winner of a Gr 1 race at the age of two and comes from a good family. Power has two brothers who are also Gr 1 winners, including Footstepinthesand, the winner of the 2000 Guiness Gr1. The three-year-old (Duke of Marmelade) of Summer Stage, is in training at the stud of Patrice Chappet. He has not debut, but turns out to be made of the right stuff. Her two-year-old (Duke of Marmelade) is still in our possession, and we are breaking her. She will soon leave to be in training with Philippe Van De Poele in Deauville.
