Kador Des Obeaux (Fr) 2020

This 4yo gelding is by Ivanhowe, a dual staying Group 1 winner in Europe/Australia and also a half-brother to Irving who won the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth hurdle twice.

He is out of a half-sister to the dam of Alpha Des Obeaux who was placed eight times in Grade 1’s in UK and Ireland.  The latest update to this pedigree is the full-brother of Fusil Raffles won on debut over hurdles at Sennonnes in August for Simon Munir & Isaac Suede, then won over fences and was second in a Listed Chase.

He was sourced from the Derby Rover Sale in June.  I bought him on-spec and took him home to be broken-in with Will Biddick.  He was turned-out for the summer here at Webb Hill Farm and is a pleasure to deal with.

Update October 24: He has progressed well after a summer’s grass and is being prepared for a point-to-point.  There is footage of him cantering away and his first schooling on the link above.
