Our Scholar (IRE)

Outright ownership or shares available in exciting juvenile hurdles prospect!

Our Scholar is already a very game winner over 1m6f at Navan and his 3 runs since then have shown promise too, finishing 3rd at Rosscommon and 5th in a warm Curragh handicap after suffering interferance but showing a tough attitude. 

Our Scholar has a very exciting pedigree being a half brother to three black type performers, all of which stayed a trip.

Patkai won the Segaro Stakes at Ascot and the Queens Vase at Royal Ascot both over 2 miles, also second to the great Yeats in the Ascot Gold Cup. Modun was placed in the Ebor over 1m6f and won the G3 September Stakes over 1m4f and Saptapadi was placed in the G2 Henry II Stakes over 2 miles and also placed in the G2 Geoffrey Freer Stakes over 1m6f. 

Previous trainer Johnny Murtagh was quoted to say: "He is a big shell of a horse whose best days are ahead of him."

It is clear from this horse's form that what he has achieved so far on the flat is a bonus considering his profile, pedigree and size.

He is a big horse standing at 17hh. He has the size from hurdles and should easily have the scope for fences in time.

Our Scholar was given a month out at grass post sale and is currently cantering well, he has already schooled and shown good scope. Anticpated first run early February.
