Very active during the day, the trio of Pierre Boulard (PB Bloodstock), Willie Mullins and Harold Kirk struck this time for the Wild Card ABSURDE offered from Wertheimer & Frère. Placed in nine of his 11 starts including twice at Listed level last season, the Carlos Laffon-Parias gelding made €260,000. The son of Fastnet Rock, a half-brother to Group placed IMPERTINENTE is from the family of JUVENIA and IN EXTREMIS.

We’ve bought him for clients of Willie Mullins's that like dual-purpose horses that can go over jumps or over long distances on the flat, explained Pierre Boulard. Absurde has the right profile to run well over longer distances.
