In the middle part of the ‘noughties’, Irish-trained horses dominated the 2m hurdling scene with horses such as Hardy Eustace, Harchibald, Sublimity and Macs Joy all winning their share of Grade 1 contests. However, arguably the most celebrated member of that group was the Colm Murphy-trained Brave Inca. Owned by an enthusiastic syndicate, he came from modest beginnings to win no less than 10 Grade 1 contests and showed himself to be one of the gamest hurdlers in recent decades.
