CALIFET has seven foals catalogued for the upcoming Goffs December National Hunt Sale. The Boardsmill Stud resident is following in a great tradition of successful stallions that have put the name of the farm and the Flood family to the forefront of Irish breeding and racing.

Next year the farm will be standing a fourth sire, Mount Nelson, and he joins Court Cave, Kalanisi and Califet, all well-established stallions with long lists of high-class winners to their credit. Today we will have a look at Califet whose leading son Blue Dragon captured another graded hurdle race last weekend. Quite simply, he is one of the best hurdlers in France and he is still only five. More of him later.
