HAZEL Arch Farm is a family-run sporthorse stud farm set up 10 years ago in the Slieve Bloom foothills and run by David Molloy and his German-born partner, Jasmin Goll.

Their foundation stallion, the homebred Portlaoise First Tuch, and Udancer Hero, the Belgian horse with a top-class damline, have been joined this year by Radolin, sire of the exciting prospect Copper Beach.
