A top class racehorse himself, young national hunt sire #Ocovango has made a brilliant start to his career at stud! Yesterday saw the son of leading national hunt influence Monsun sire a first crop 4YO point-to-point winner at Tallow when Glenglass stormed to victory for the Milestone Racing Partnership. Bred by Robert McCarthy, Glenglass’ handler @colinboweracing was taken by the gelding’s performance commenting “He’s a horse with tonnes of raw ability and he showed a nice will to win there”. Another exciting prospect for #Ocovango is the Hugh O’Connor-bred Langer Dan who won his first 2 starts over hurdles including the Listed Juvenile Hurdle @wetherbyraces for @danskeltonracing. His first runner on the flat is also already a winner of 3 races #CoolmoreNHSires #HomeOfChampions #TheBeeches #Coolmore #Horses #Horseracing #HorsesOfInstagram #Thoroughbred #thoroughbredracing
