| Today, our Soldier Hollow added a hurdling horse on Gr.1 level to his progeny record. Arctic Fire, who has won in his first career start over hurdles in Ireland two months ago, came to a great third-place finish in the Gr.1 Royal Bond Novice Hurdle in Faryhouse, Ireland. The German-bred gelding had settled by the end of the field for most of the 3219 meters. Once the field turned for home, however, he developed great speed and fell short of a better result only because he encountered heavy traffic in the final two furlongs. |
