ARQANA’S Autumn Sale in November 2020 included a well-bred two-year-old gelding by Doctor Dino (Muhtathir), closely related to A Plus Tard. Joey Logan secured him for €88,000 on behalf of Andy and Gemma Brown who race as Caldwell Construction Ltd.

The couple left Fil Dor in France where he was placed on his only start on the flat the following year. Transferred to Gordon Elliott, he turned into one of the best juvenile hurdlers, starting off with three successes which included the Grade 2 Knight Frank Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown and a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse. He didn’t manage to win again finishing second to Vauban in three Grade 1s, including the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham, and he was also runner-up to Brazil in a Grade 3 at Naas.
