That'll Do Moss

An exciting point-to-point recruit That’ll Do Moss who won impressively and is soon to embark on her career under rules!

The five-year-old daughter of Black Sam Bellamy was the impressive winner of a Brocklesby Park point-to-point in February for renowned jockey/trainer John Dawson, who recently rode Sine Nominee to a famous triumph in the Hunter Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. She will be based with Gr.1-winning trainer Fergal O’Brien from his Ravenswell Farm yard in the heart of the Cotswolds.

That’ll Do Moss is out of the accomplished NH broodmare Brackenmoss, who won two bumpers and an Ayr novice hurdle during her racing days and was twice tested in Stakes company. Since having her attentions switched to breeding, she has produced the 135-rated two-time hurdles winner Ballymillsy, who was sent off favourite for a Listed race at the Cheltenham November meeting, the chase and hurdles winner Midnight Moss, and the Sedgefield novice hurdle winner Miss Tara Moss.

Brackenmoss is a half-sister to the Gr.3-winning Irish hurdler Barnahash Rose (dam of the enormously promising Barnahash Primrose, who won a Limerick bumper by 7.5 lengths in December and then finished third in the Gr.2 mares’ bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival), the Gr.2 River Don Novices’ Hurdle third Ask The Gatherer, as well as the dam of the Gr.2 Rendlesham Hurdle winner Donna’s Diamond.

The exceptional extended family also includes Willie Mullins’s dual Gr.1-winning novice chaser Cooldine, the Gr.1 bumper scorer, Gr.3-winning hurdler and Gr.1-placed novice chaser Blow By Blow, who also landed the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle at the 2018 Cheltenham Festival, the Gr.1-placed hurdler Brackenheath, and the Gr.3-winning chaser The Big Bite.

Adding weight to the quality of That’ll Do Moss’s pedigree is her sire, Black Sam Bellamy. A Gr.1-winning full-brother to the incomparable Galileo, he carved out an outstanding reputation as a NH sire prior to his untimely death in 2018. Still a constant fixture in the top 50 of the British and Irish Sires’ table, his best runners to date include the Gr.1 Long Walk Hurdle winner Sam Spinner, the multiple Gr.1-winning French hurdler Galop Marin, the Gr.2-winning chaser and twice Gr.1 Cheltenham Gold Cup-placed The Giant Bolster, and the Gr.2-winning chaser Sam Brown.

In addition to his prowess as a sire, Black Sam Bellamy is also broodmare sire of Reserve Tank, twice a Gr.1-winning novice hurdler, which suggests that a well-related individual such as That’ll Do Moss possesses residual value as a potential breeder, in addition to her exciting on-track credentials.
