North Moon
North Moon is a son of Spanish Moon, sire of this year’s runaway Arkle winner for Willie Mullins, El Fabiolo. It is a really strong National Hunt pedigree and, as you can see in the video, he is a very athletic, good-moving individual.
His half-brother was certainly precocious – he finished runner-up to the top-class French champion hurdler Theleme in the Grade 1 Prix Cambaceres as a three year old, and was beaten only by Theleme and the brilliant Hermes Baie in Grade 2 company either side of that.
Willie has trained the top two by the sire, the other being Laurina, 18-length winner of the Grade 2 Mares’ novice hurdle at the Festival in 2018 and also a winner at the top level at Fairyhouse.
As well as being a half-brother to the very high-class French hurdler Raffles Face (also a winner at Auteuil over fences on his latest outing), North Moon is out of a novice hurdle winner at Clairefontaine as a three year old, herself a half-sister to three black-type performers.
He is in full training at Willie Mullins’ yard and we hope he will be ready to start off in a bumper in July 2024.

Willie Mullins
We are delighted to have our first Pimlico Racing syndicate horses in training with 17-time Irish National Hunt Champion Trainer Willie Mullins for the 2023/24 campaign.
Willie needs no introduction. The winning-most trainer at the Cheltenham Festival, he trained a record 237 winners in the 2022/23 campaign in Ireland, recording over €7 million in prize-money.
The roll of honours at Closutton gets considerably longer by the year and we are excited to have the highly-rated ex-flat performer Ninth Titan and exciting, unraced four year old North Moon in training with Willie this season.
