Castlelawn Cobra sold to USA

GABRIEL Slattery’s three-year-old Dublin loose jumping winner Castlelawn Cobra 19 has been sold to the USA. The deal came off the back of that Dublin win and was ongoing last week before being confirmed to The Irish Field on Thursday. By Cobra 18 out of the Lambrusco ASK mare Korea 8, the stallion was bred in Sligo by Stanley Nairn and won the colt section of the three-year-old loose jumping in Dublin on a score of 93. While the name of the new owner has not been revealed, he will now make his way to Kentucky after been bought by connections involved with thoroughbreds and with an interest in show jumping.
