Jukebox King is a striking bay gelding in training with joint trainers Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls in the Cotswolds. With an envious pedigree and having already won a point-to-point race in Ireland, we have high hopes for Jukebox King, as he prepares to go Novice Hurdling in the Autumn.
The five-year-old was sired by Jukebox Jury, who was a Group 1 winner and a multiple Group 2 winner in his racing career, before being sent to stud in 2013. He’s been a prolific sire of classy horses, including Il Etait Temps (multiple Grade 1 winner), Farclas (Grade 1 winner) and Bambino Fever (Grade 1 winner). Jukebox Jury’s sire Montjeu was a six-time Group 1 winner and was also the sire of William Mullins’ Hurricane Fly, who won an incredible 22 Grade 1 races. With all this in mind, there’s plenty to get excited about with Jukebox King’s pedigree!
“Jukebox King is a good-looking 5yo son of Jukebox Jury, a very sought-after stallion who is getting plenty of winners. We saw his point-to-point win at Ballycrystal and we were both impressed with the way he jumped and travelled. He showed a very willing attitude and we were delighted to get him at the sales. He’s a very straightforward horse who jumps well, and we are really looking forward to getting him started over hurdles in the Autumn.” Joint-Trainer Mat Nicholls.
Jukebox King is our first horse in training in the Cotswold area, and our first horse with joint-trainers Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls. Kim is a Grand National and Multiple Grade 1 winning trainer, including multiple winners at The Cheltenham Festival. Mat Nicholls has joined the training license at Thorndale Farm, having previously been Kim’s assistant trainer for 16 years, and the pair have already enjoyed immediate success – their first-ever runner under the dual license ran out an impressive winner!
Jukebox King looks to be an exciting addition to our National Hunt horses, and we’re looking forward to seeing him make his hurdles in the Autumn.
