Summer 2008

Pistol Basc is our new recruit.

Where did we get him? From France using same sources that got us Nine De Sivola, Clemax, Kalmo Bay, Delray Beach and Lucky Nellerie.

What's he done? Despite still being only a 4yo, he ran in 5 hurdles and 2 chases in France. He has won a hurdle race over 2m1f and been placed twice. On his 2nd chase start he was 2nd beaten ½ length (see photo above)

What's he doing now? We brought him to England in November, gelded him and put him in the field for a rest. He will return for the next jumps season to go handicap hurdling and/or novice chasing.

Breeding? He is by a new sire, Maille Pistol who is by Pistolet Bleu. Pistol Basc’s dam was a winner over jumps as was his 2nd dam. The third dam won listed races over jumps in France, as did the 4th dam. The horse is well bred to jump.
