| Nella foto l'advert di The Gurka, funziona per €12,500. |
The Gurkha ha corso solo 6 volte ma ha accumulato circa £1 milione in somme vinte. La prima vittoria in carriera alla seconda uscita, per 9 lunghezze, ma a 3 anni l'esplosione definitiva con la vittoria nelle Poule d’Essai des Poulains G1 in Francia, con 5 lunghezze e mezzo di margine. Dopo quella è andato al Royal Ascot e nelle St James’s Palace Stakes G1, contro i vincitori delle 2000 Ghinee inglesi ed irlandesi, è incappato in Galileo Gold (Paco Boy), che ha poi battuto nella sua ultima fatica in carriera a Goodwood nelle Sussex Stakes G1. Prima di andare li però ha perso una edizione delle Eclipse G1 alle spalle di Hawkbill (Kitten's Joy), dimostrando di non essere troppo adatto ala distanza. LA SCHEDA QUI.
La mamma è Chintz (Danehill Dancer), della famiglia della vincitrice di Arc Solemia (Poliglote), e di cui fanno parte nella ramificazione femminile anche i campioni Okawango, Quijano ed Authorized, tutti con un quid di stamina. Tipico incrocio Galileo su Danehill, che ha avuto molta fortuna in allevamento.
Il figlio più costoso di The Gurkha passato alle aste, è in training da Aidan O'Brien. Prodotto di Larceny (Cape Cross), sorellastra di Lawman, è stato acquistato in Francia ad Arqana per €525,000 da MV Magnier, che ha anche comprato per €260,000 un maschio da Euphrasia vincitrice di G3 alle Goffs’ Orby Sale. China Horse Club ha speso €300,000 per un maschio sempre in Irlanda, mentre Horse France ha comprato una femmina per €250,000 ad Arqana. Insomma, mica male. Anche in Italia è arrivato qualche suo prodotto.
