BROTHER Bear continued the remarkable run of success being enjoyed by Jessica Harrington when he won the Listed Marble Hill Stakes at a rain-soaked Curragh last Saturday. Bred by Martin White and sold as a yearling through Knockainey Stud for 125,000gns in Book 2 of the Tattersalls October Sale, the Kodiac colt will next tackle the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.

The first foal of his unraced Mr Greely (Gone West) dam Hurricane Emma, he is followed by a yearling half-sister by Camelot. She is nicely appreciating in value while enjoying life at present. Hurricane Emma was bought as a foal in Keeneland by Ger Burke and pinhooked from his Glidawn Stud at the Goffs Orby Sale in 2011 for €40,000, being signed for by Peter Molony’s Rathmore Stud. While she failed to make it to the racecourse, her pedigree ensured that she got her chance at stud.
