Intersky Falcon
Intersky Falcon (foaled 19 February 1997) is a retired British Thoroughbred racehorse who competed in National Hunt racing. He won eleven hurdle races and one steeplechase in a thirty-six race career which lasted from February 2001 until July 2006. He recorded his first major win when taking the Swinton Handicap Hurdle at Haydock Park Racecourse in May 2002. He went on to win the John James McManus Memorial Hurdle in Ireland in 2002 and 2003 and the Fighting Fifth Hurdle in 2002. Intersky Falcon's most notable achievement was to record back-to-back victories in the Christmas Hurdle, decisively defeating the reigning Champion Hurdler on each occasion. He never won at Cheltenham, but ran in four consecutive renewals of the Champion Hurdle, finishing fifth, third, sixth and eleventh.
==Background==
Intersky Falcon is a chestnut gelding with a narrow white blaze bred by Fulling Mill Farm and Stud. He was probably the best jumper sired by Polar Falcon, an American-bred stallion who won the Lockinge Stakes and the Haydock Sprint Cup in 1991. As a breeding stallion his most influential offspring was Pivotal who won the Nunthorpe Stakes and became a very successful sire. Intersky Falcon's dam, I'll Try was an Irish-bred mare who won one race in England and three in the United States between 1984 and 1986. As a granddaughter of Mortefontaine, she was closely related to the Nunthorpe stakes winner Polyfoto and the Irish 1000 Guineas winner Katies: as a broodmare, I'll Try also produced the Lincoln Handicap winner John Ferneley.
In September 1998, the yearling colt was sent to the sales at Doncaster and was bought for 17,500 guineas by the trainer and former jockey Jonjo O'Neill. During his racing career he was owned in partnership by O'Neill's wife Jacqui and Intersky Racing, a syndicate managed by the former international footballer Terry McDermott and whose 27 members included Alan Shearer. He was trained by O'Neill at Penrith in Cumbria before moving to the trainer's new base at Jackdaws Castle in Gloucestershire in 2001. Intersky Falcon usually raced in blinkers and showed a marked preference for fast ground.
