CUNEO 2012 (G) KAPGARDE X MEFERTITI
Pioneer Racing are ecstatic to secure the highly rated Cuneo from the recent Goffs UK sale. This son of elite sire Kapgarde was sourced for us by Gordon Elliott and Aidan ‘Mouse’ O’Ryan from the annual Gigginstown dispersal sale where Gordon and Mouse have had great success in the past and we hope Cuneo can keep that strong winning theme going for everyone involved. After having our first Cheltenham Festival runner in the Pioneer Racing silks this year, We are determined to secure more high class horses who have the ability to run and be competitive in the high value races at the big meetings especially over the Winter and into the Spring giving their owners the thrill of being involved at the very top of the game. We certainly believe Gordon and Mouse have come up trumps for us and ticked all the boxes in securing Cuneo from the sale, what however did surprise us all was the exceptional value we picked him up for, which can only be put down to the current economic climate as Cuneo who finished 3rd in a beginners chase on his last run for previous connections looked a likely winner until being severely hampered on the turn for home by the eventual winner and was given a full clean bill of health by the vets prior to us purchasing him.
Gordon and Mouse for obvious reasons know the Gigginstown horses very well as they have an excellent relationship with Gigginstown House Stud which gives them great insight as to the horses they feel still have not reached their full potential prior going to the sales and this was a horse that was always on their shortlist when the catalogue was printed, and luckily for us we had our hat in the ring prior to the sale as Gordon and Mouse were contacted by numerous new and existing owners in Gordon’s yard to try and secure the horse once they seen they had signed for him at the sale. Cuneo has established himself as a horse capable of running and winning big races on the biggest stages, highlighted by winning a Pertemps qualifier at the High class Leopardstown Christmas Festival which can be viewed from 2.00 on the following link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgmNH32ODds and then going on to place in the Pertemps final at the 2019 Cheltenham Festival where only for a mistake at the second last followed by a slow jump at the last when in front he may have got the win, the finish of the race can be viewed from 11.00 on the following link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF0XiOuygaY.
Aidan ‘Mouse’ O’Ryan – ‘He is a nice horse that I know well from his days as a store when I bought him from the Tattersalls Derby sales for Mr O’Leary. He looks very well, has a complete clean cert and was on our list to buy as soon as the catalogue came out, we would have given over twice that for him. He was bought with the intention to run in those big handicaps and I’m sure will offer his owners plenty of fun. I’m delighted the lads at Pioneer have got him as the put a lot of effort into the game and id like to think this horse will reward them for the hard work they do.‘
