Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 26, 2019 Journalists Share Posted December 26, 2019 Dun Dun (Ire) (Saddler’s Hall {Ire}–Frankly Native {Ire}, by Be My Native), the dam of the multiple Group 1-winning jumper Samcro (Ire) (Germany), has died, according to Douglas Taylor, breeder of Samcro. The 17-year-old mare is responsible for seven foals, her fourth being Samcro, winner of the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle and Deloitte Novice Hurdle. Samcro, a £335,000 purchase by trainer Gordon Elliott at the Goffs UK Aintree Sale in 2016, was campaigned by Taylor and trained by Colin Bowe earlier in his career. “Dun Dun has been a grand mare for us and we are sad to see her go,” said Taylor. “We have one last filly foal out of her, a 4-year-old daughter of the young sire Jet Away.” Dun Dun, in foal to Jet Away when she died, is represented by her final live foal, Samcro’s Sister (Ire) (Jet Away), who is currently in training with point-to-point trainer Cormac Farrell.
