ABOUT
A Grade 1 Novice Hurdle and Cheltenham Festival winner, being sold with an entry in the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle on Saturday 27th November.
Game winner of the Grade 3 County Hurdle in March before following up at Aintree in style beating top novice chase prospect Third Time Lucki by 14 1/2 lengths in the Grade 1 Top Novices' Hurdle. He was 3rd on his most recent start in the Grade 2 Elite Hurdle at Wincanton.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a proven Grade 1 performer with the potential to take his new connections to all the big Festival meetings. His present trainer, Peter Fahey, would be thrilled to continue to train him for his new connections and has said:
“Belfast Banter has been an absolute star. Any horse that lands you a Grade 1 and Cheltenham Festival win is very special and he still looks to have his best days ahead of him.Being only a six-year-old, he still has plenty of scope and it’ll be exciting for whoever secures him at the sale, particularly with an entry in the Fighting Fifth. Horses of his calibre don’t come around too often, that’s for sure.”
Peter is happy to discuss the horse and or arrange a viewing with any interested parties. He can contacted on:
Mobile: +353 87 238 1664 or Email: roefieldstables@hotmail.com
