HE may have had small crops to date, but there is most certainly going to be a lot more interest from breeders in Mickley Stud’s Yorgunnabelucky in 2022. Richard Kent stands this son of Giant’s Causeway in Shropshire (a relatively short run from Holyhead) and the stallion got his second blacktype National Hunt winner at the weekend – and what a winner it was.

Timeforatune was bred, owned and trained by Brian Eckley and in May of this year the five-year-old made a winning debut when skating up in a Ffos Las bumper by 11 lengths. Two weeks later he changed hands at the Tattersalls Cheltenham May Sale for a cool £175,000, and joined Paul Nicholls to race in the colours of John Hales.
