His race record is the one of a great champion : 11 races, 9 wins, twice placed second.

2007 : second of the Prix du Palais-Royal (Gr.3) at Longchamp in may, Ridaar would deserve a great victory.

Sire of 43 winners in 2006, Starborough unfortunately left us at the end of of the year.

NIKOS retires in 2005!
Master Minded is one of the Top French 4yo steeple-chasers, particularly second of the Prix Ferdinand Dufaure (Gr.1) in 2007.
