Winter Peril (IRE)

The nine-year-old Flemensfirth mare Winter Peril is offered for sale in foal to Scorpion and alongside her April-born filly foal by Cloudings. The asking price is £7,500 plus VAT for the pair; no nomination is payable for the 2020 cover as it is included in the asking price.

Winter Peril was unraced on the track but has previously produced a three-year-old gelding, two-year-old filly and yearling filly. All three are by Cloudings, making them full-siblings to the filly foal for sale, and have been retained to race. They have the potential to add substantially to the page in the future.

Winter Peril is out of the bumper winner Supreme Attraction, who is in turn a product of the Grade-1 Supreme Novices' Hurdle heroine Tourist Attraction. Famed as Willie Mullins' first Cheltenham Festival winner as a trainer, Tourist Attraction went on to produce five winners as a broodmare, including the Grade-3 placed 12-time winner and popular veteran chaser Pete The Feat.

The extended family features the Grade-3 winning hurdler Clondaw Kaempfer, the Grade-1 placed hurdler Our Kaempfer and the Grade-1 Champion Bumper third Skehanagh Bridge, amongst others.

The covering sire Scorpion is famed as the sire of King George winner and Gold Cup runner-up Might Bite, and enjoyed a highly successful 2019/20 season as his son Riders Onthe Storm won the Grade-1 Betfair Ascot Chase. Meanwhile Cloudings, the aforementioned sire of the filly foal at foot, is best known for the exploits of his Grand National and Hennessy-winning son Many Clouds.

Winter Peril is a kind mare with no vices, who remains completely sound and hails from a good family. She is available for purchase at an extremely competitive price and is only being sold as her current owner is reducing his National Hunt broodmare band; please get in touch for more information.
