Cougar Ridge (Johannesburg x Wild as Elle by Elnadim) was an easy winner by two and three parts of a length when debuting at Ireland’s Leopardstown. The two-year-old was sold for $60k at the Keeneland September sale last year. Bred on the mating recommendation of Rory Callis, the colt has a bright future with up and coming trainer David Wachman.

“He’s a nice horse. He’s still a bit green and babyish,” jockey Billy Lee said afterwards. Click here to read more about the race. Footage of the race is available via At The Races.

The broodmare, Wild as Elle, is by the Danzig stallion Elnadim. She looks to have a bright future in the shed. This was only her second foal. She dropped a filly by Desert Party on May 11 and will be bred to Preakness Stakes winner Lookin at Lucky soon.
