Reports in which Grand Soir (FR) was mentioned
Grand Soir stays at it to seal his hat-trick
Grand Soir was best in the latter stages of the 2m7f rated novice hurdle as he completed a hat-trick for John McConnell. Sun 18th DecGrand Soir starting to justify price tag
The I.N.H. Stallion Owners EBF Novice Hurdle went to expensive point-to-point recruit Grand Soir (6/1) who is starting to get his act together now under Rules. Sun 16th OctSoir another Grand winner for in-form trainer McConnell
Grand Soir made up for a slightly disappointing debut effort over flights when putting things right in the Moyvalley Meats Maiden Hurdle at Kilbeggan. Fri 19th AugHunters Yarn seals Mullins' brace in Limerick
Hunters Yarn was Willie Mullins' final runner in Ireland before the Cheltenham Festival and he couldn't have been more impressive in the concluding bumper at Limerick. Sun 13th Mar
After race at Kilbeggan Fri, 19th Aug, 2022 (1st)
I said to Simon in the ring if he had natural progression from his first start over hurdles he could run well here,. He's very laid back at home, we paid an awful lot of money for him and he really didn't show much at home when he got him even though he's a beautiful horse. We've been lucky with a lot of them but he was a real big one for us as Derek puts a lot of money into it. I couldn't even tell him he was flying up the gallops. He's probably a three-mile plus chaser in the making. If he hadn't done something today we were going to have to go back to the drawing board. He was good there, he obviously likes nice ground and there is plenty more to come I'd say. He never travelled. In fairness we have Thomas Reilly at home in the yard, he's ridden a few winners for me, and I put him on him about a month ago. He's after getting him to travel a lot better than he has before at home. I have to put that win down to him as he's been a different horse in the last couple of weeks. You still want to see it on the track and it's brilliant that he's translated that. Whether we go chasing this season or potter around in novice hurdles for the year, I don't know. I don't think he's a winter horse, he handled that ground really well. I'd say we could give him a break in October and bring him back February or March time.
