DRAGON Pulse has made an explosive start to his stallion career at the Irish National Stud and that first crop of two-year-olds includes his first stakes winner, Legendary Lunch.

Bred by Johnston King at his Riverdene Stud in Omagh, Co Tyrone, the colt was sold as a foal to Eddie O’Leary’s Lynn Lodge Stud for €31,000, the colt being reoffered at the now Goffs UK Yearling Sale last August where he turned a tidy profit, realising £78,000 to Peter and Ross Doyle Bloodstock.
