THE REMARKABLE STORY OF AN ALL-TIME HURDLING GREAT - ISTABRAQ

Istabraq won three Champion Hurdles at the Cheltenham Festival among many other prestigious races. But did you know he was bred as a flat horse?

From Cheltenham racecourse to Aintree racecourse and beyond, this is Istabraq's story from the beginning.

R.I.P. one of the true racing heroes. In his time there was no other. Limestone would give him a race over two and a half mind. I kissed his sire Sadler’s Wells as he stood in his box!
