This strapping 8-year old is by hugely successful Group 1 winning Sire Voix Du Nord and is an impressive dual hurdle winner in training with Oliver Sherwood.
From the very beginning we knew this horse would be a long term prospect and with that in mind he was not rushed as a youngster. However once he began full training (originally with Gary Moore) there was a lot to like about him, particular his raw willingness and ability to power up the gallops.
He was purchased in France by top bloodstock agent Anthony Bromley at the age of 2, and apart from ticking all the boxes conformation wise, what really caught Anthony’s eye was the pedigree – he loves the Sire Voix Du Nord, and the Dam won 5 races, and was placed 8 times – all over jumps. The horse enjoyed plenty of pre-training, hacking and even schooled over a few cross country fences when arriving in the UK.
Cilaos Glace made an over-exuberant debut in 2018 and a few minor immaturity issues needed respecting shortly after. Despite Gary and his team doing an excellent job, his Owners felt a change in the horse’s training regime (where some swimming could be undertook) may be what he needs and he moved to Oliver Sherwood’s yard in the summer of 2018.
After an encouraging start to his hurdling career, it wasn’t long before Cilaos Glace began his winning ways. Under great rides from Leighton Aspell on both occasions the horse gave back-to-back impressive victories in early 2019. It was a little disappointing not to see Cilaos Glace follow this up in 2020/21 although he did finish a fantastic 2nd over fences at Wetherby in October. Cilaos Glace is definitely a horse that requires patience but his loyal Owners are going to give him another chance and he looks extremely well handicapped heading into a new season. Fingers crossed he can get back to winning ways!
