King Of Answers (IRE)

Overview

A son of the in-form sire Malinas, who has shown admirable progression from his first to his second start. He ran with much credit on his Dromahane debut before progressing to finish a close second in a Taylorstown maiden behind the proven and talented Wendigo. He stayed on strongly all the way to the line, suggesting the improvement is likely to continue. He finished 3rd on his debut under rules at Bangor-on-Dee in October in a 2m bumper. Outpaced in the initial stages, he stayed on strongly to the line. The form has since been franked with both first, Cannock Park winning at Cheltenham and finishing 3rd in a Grade 1 over hurdles, and second, Panhandle Slim winning over hurdles at the second time of asking. He is sure to develop further over the summer months into a very game and fun sort in the future.

Paul McIvor (Bloodstock Agent)

“King Of Answers is a five-year-old gelding who has shown considerable promise in two starts in Irish points and is the type to continue progressing with racing and experience. Sixth on his debut at Dromahane, he reappeared two weeks later and took a good step forward to finish runner-up at Taylorstown on 13th May in a race that produced the quickest time of the day. Ridden more patiently than on debut, he came through to lead early in the straight but displayed signs of inexperience once hitting the front and was unable to hold the late rally of the winner, going down fighting by 1¼ lengths. A son of Malinas, sire of Lucinda Russell’s Scottish Grand National winner Mighty Thunder, this athletic good-moving individual is from a family stacked full of winners and won’t be long in adding his name to that particular list.”
