Blacko Joins AppleTree Jumping String On Alan Kings Recommendation 05/11/19

AppleTree Stud has added to our jumping string by purchasing Blacko(FR) Balko x Ascella. Alan King bought the 3yo gelding after seeing him finish a staying on 2nd at Lyon- Parrilly (soft) on the 08/10/19 and was very taken by the way Blacko jumped and Galloped to the line. AppleTree Stud then had the call to go and view the horse from Alan and we liked what we saw. He is quite a rangy individual with enough size and scope to give us plenty of fun this season and hopefully for the foreseeable future. Blacko will be aimed at Juvenile hurdles this side of Christmas but is qualified for national hunt novices. In time he could make up in to a nice novice chaser but that is down the road and he will be given to time to mature and strengthen. We will be guided by the horse And Alan.
