Benack only arrived in the yard at the beginning of September and was fifth and third in Irish Point-to-Points this Spring. There should be plenty of improvement to come from this well-bred five year old.
We have put together a new syndicate which is being managed by Heather Walker and the owners are Darren Arthur, Verena Bowyer, Romy Cookson, Penelope Scrope, Sammy and Andy Mungall, Paul Stevenson, Katie Stevenson,Thomas Stone, Andrew Iain Todd and Heather Walker.
Shirocco was a four-time Gr.1 winning Champion and €1,660,000. Won Deutsches Derby (Gr.1), Gran Premio del Jockey Club (Gr.1), Breeders’ Cup Turf (Gr.1), Coronation Cup (Gr.1), etc. In 2020 he had 35 four and five year old NHF and PTP winners and was the sire of Annie Power – five time Grade 1 winner including Cheltenham and Aintree Champion Hurdles. He was the second leading Point-to-Point sale sire in 2019 and in 2020 his progeny sold for up to £260,000.
Maggies Oscar produced Darver Star the winner of six races and third in Cheltenham Champion Hurdle. The Grand dam produced Sky Hall rated 134.
