"Colm Murphy expresses his good fortune in having trained Brave Inca, following the Champion Hurdle hero's passing at the age of 27"
Brave Inca, a horse trained by Colm Murphy, had a remarkable career that spanned from 1999 to his tragic death in 2020. The chestnut gelding, known for his toughness and love for racing, made history with his victories and became a champion in the world of two-mile hurdlers in Ireland.
Brave Inca's career took off after winning a bumper at Fairyhouse in March 2003. This win marked the beginning of a successful journey that saw him win 15 races out of 35 starts and 12 placements. Ten of these wins were at Grade 1 level, a testament to his consistent excellence.
One of Brave Inca's most notable victories came in 2004 when he won the Vintage Supreme Novices' Hurdle. This was followed by his win in the Champion Hurdle in 2006, a prestigious race that further cemented his place in the annals of horse racing history. Another significant victory was his win over a Gold Cup winner in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle.
Brave Inca's record speaks for itself. He won none of his first four starts but went on to win some of the most coveted races in horse racing. His career was a brilliant time for two-mile hurdlers in Ireland, and his legacy continues to inspire new generations of horses and trainers.
Sadly, Brave Inca died from colic after a recent bout of the condition. He was 27 years old and spent his retirement with trainer Colm Murphy. Murphy, who trained Brave Inca, expressed deep admiration for the horse, stating that he was one-of-a-kind.
Brave Inca's passing marks the end of an era in horse racing, but his memory will live on through the stories of his victories and the impact he had on the sport. His career was a testament to the power of determination, resilience, and the love for racing, making him a true legend in the world of horse racing.
