‘The Bardman' 4-year-old Bay Gelding Dam: Delta Forty Sire: Maxios

The ‘Maxios x’ youngster was brought by Charlie at the GOFFS IRE Arkle Sale in June 2025. He is an exciting prospect with impeccable breeding, he is out of established sire Maxios and out of Delta Forty, they have both proven lots of stamina and it’s the ideal blend for success over jumps. Since arriving with us as a 3-year-old he has always done everything right, he has already shown bags of scope in his early career and has taken to all his work nicely. He has been given the time to mature and grow as since he arrived, he hasn’t stopped growing!

He’s having a Summer Holiday and then we will aim to run him at the beginning of Autumn in season 26/27 where he will start in bumpers before working his way to hurdles. He will be a fantastic horse for Stratford Members.
