Started off in an open novice chase finishing third to Malystic at Newcastle off the back of a pelvis injury. He was not straight in his jumping (going left) and possibly lost a bit of confidence with the injury when he was third again at Haydock and then got bashed into and fibrillated at Newcastle. So an unlucky time for him. After a further break, we now hope that Pirate can then get back to winning over fences if given a chance with the handicapper as he still has a mark of 120.
Black Sam Bellamy is half- brother of Galileo and Sea The Stars and has proved to be a good NH sire and we are lucky enough to have four youngsters by him before he died as an 19 year old. His star performers include The Giant Bolster, Sam Spinner and Sam Brown.
His Dam was unraced but the Grand Dam has produced three black-type performers, Hobbs Hill winner of two Grade 2 Novice Chases, Posh Pearl second in Aintree Champion Bumper and Hollies Pearl a Listed winner of Bumpers and Hurdles. The third Dam produced three winners including Pearlyman – a top class 2 mile Chaser and Listed Hurdle winner Poetic Gem.
