This progressive 3 time winner in this calendar year has a BHA flat mark of 85 and is a winner over 1 mile 2f up to 1 mile 4 furlongs. His last run was his best recording an RPR of 88 over 1 mile and 41/2 furlongs. Every piece of his form has worked out superbly with horses in and around him boosting the form time and time again.

State Legend was handpicked for Rubicon Racing by the super shrewd dual purpose and Cheltenham Festival winning trainer Ian Williams. A legendary trainer and great bloke Ian is adept at training dual purpose horses and our one instruction to him was “choose us a horse that can take our owners to the spring festivals”.

By Churchill who stands at Coolmore stud for a fee of £25000 and out of a Cape Cross mare this scopey beautiful moving and strong staying progressive type is exactly the sort of horse that you need to make a successful juvenile hurdler. He is the brother to 3 winning siblings and we are delighted to have acquired a horse of such potential.

He was purchased at the Tattersalls August Sale and taken home to be schooled before being immediately gelded. He will now be prepared for a juvenile hurdling campaign giving his new owners dreams of a Spring festival appearance with races like the Triumph hurdle, Fred Winter juvenile hurdle and the Anniversary hurdle at Aintree very much on the agenda.

Ian believes this horse is massively unexposed on the flat and with natural improvement will also give his owners the opportunity to enjoy some great days out on the flat once this jumps season is at an end.

We feel we have secured real value here and this chap will appeal to owners who are looking to hit the ground running with a shrewd trainer who is confident of a very bright future for our boy.
