Ikarak is an incredibly exciting addition to our National Hunt ranks. Still only a youngster, he is lightly raced and open to any amount of improvement still.
Here's his profile video:
He won an Auteuil Chase over 4400m. Auteuil is 'the Cheltenham' of France and victories around there are very hard to come by. The step up to 2m 6f really seemed to suit that day, having previously placed 2nd at Auteuil over 2m1f.
He’s a huge horse, almost 16.3 so it should be no surprise regarding the upping in distance suiting him. He plugged through the heavy ground in his latest victory, jumping and galloping his rivals into submission, to win cosily by 2.5 lengths. (Watch that race in the gallery.) He looks a high-class staying chaser, in the making.
Walk and Trot:
We’ve been able to secure him via the Auctav Sales platform for €50,000 and we think he represents incredible value and we can’t wait to see him on track. He vetted perfectly well and came very well recommended by Toby Jones, who bought Red Risk for us, from France.
Milton loves him, saying: “Lovely, big, strong horse. They don’t usually look like that, when they come out of France!”
Racing Update: An Auteuil Chase winner in his native France, now acclimatised over here, his trainer has some lofty targets for this last time out, soft ground, winner, on the horizon; he’s a horse very much on the up. Milton believes there’s plenty more improvement to come from this still only 5yo gelding. His syndicate will have some fun with him. His race entries/declarations, will show on this page.
