North Moon
2020 bay gelding by Spanish Moon (USA) ex North Face (FR) (Falco (USA))
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.

We are delighted to have Pimlico Racing syndicate horses in training with 17-time Irish National Hunt Champion Trainer Willie Mullins.
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 looking forward to the exciting, unraced five year old North Moon in training with Willie this season.
