Anyone heard of TB stallion Down The Hatch?

[Astra]

I've been trying to find out a bit more about my new horse's breeding. He was bred in Belgium and is registered as a Belgium Warmblood despite having full TB lines. The link below shows his breeding.

Azaro's breeding

If anyone can shed any light on any horses in his bloodlines I would be delighted as I've had no luck with Google. I'm particularly interested to know where the stallions originated from (eg: English, Irish, American) and whether they raced or had proven competition records in any sports. I've bought him to event.

Have you tried putting the tb's into the racing post website? That will tell you if they have raced.

horse 544th in the FEI eventing rankings is called Mr. Mullins and is by Down the Hatch - looks like he stood in Ireland

Might try the Irish horse board for more info ??

From what i can see on racing post website Down the hatch has produced a few winners National Hunt racing.
And i would guess that as most of his progeny are irish breds that he stood there.
Try giving Weatherbys a ring they will probably be able to help letting you know if the stallion raced himself.
Unfortunately he is too old for Racing post stats to show his race record up.
