If the source of exceptional hurdler Constitution Hill and seven other Grade 1 winners isn’t  safe, no sire is…. 

His first six crops, the result of his spell in France, contained L’Autonomie, who became a  legendary mainstay of Auteuil’s Grade 1 hurdling scene, and the likes of Blue Lord, Good  Land, Le Prezien, Mick Jazz and Royal Pagaille, all of whom found their fortune after being  exported to Britain or Ireland…. 

His four crops conceived at Yorton Farm, aged between five and eight, have yielded  Constitution Hill, his fellow Grade 1 winners Inthepocket and Redemption Day and no end of  other smart sorts, such as Choccabloc, Copacabana, Gameofinches, Heads Up, Pembroke,  Santos Blue, Wellington Arch and Willmount….  

Blue Bresil’s first ten crops from his time in France and Britain, only one of which crept over  100 in number and which altogether averaged 65, have produced 460 starters for 194 winners  (42 per cent) and 35 black-type performers (7.6 per cent)…. 

Now that the industry is getting more of a handle on the first Irish-conceived four-year-olds  by the sire, they ought to be impressed. 

It already features a black-type winner of sorts, thanks to Gordon Elliott’s…. Coutach, who was  eased down to take the Foxbrook Champion Hurdle (USA) by four-and-a-quarter lengths…  

Coutach is one of six winners from around 20 runners under rules among Blue Bresil’s four year-olds. The other scorers include Blue Waters, who is also trained by Elliott and won for  the second time when bolting up in a Listowel maiden hurdle last month, and Samba Train,  who has been sent out by Enda Bolger to land bumpers at Limerick and Listowel. 

Blue Bresil has also made a more than satisfactory start with his first Irish-conceived  representatives in four-year-old point-to-points, which are so important for a sire’s profile now.
