Marlacoo
- Sire: Wings Of Eagles Dam: Sally Knox
Marlacoo was purchased at the Cheltenham May Sale for £85,000 by renowned racing investor Patrick Veitch in conjunction with Anthony Bromley, shortly after his impressive debut bumper win at Down Royal in May 2024. In that race, he powered clear in the final furlong and was very impressive at the line. He is in training with Tom Lacey, who has established himself as a top-class trainer in recent seasons.
Since joining Tom Lacey, Marlacoo has been placed eight times, and was an impressive winner of an Ayr novice hurdle in 2025. This season could see him embark over the larger obstacles in novice chases.

News stories
After wins for Golden Maverick and Gibbs Island in recent weeks, it was the turn of Marlacoo on Monday afternoon, bidding to land the hat-trick of recent RaceShare Jumps winners!
He headed to Ayr where he encountered heavy ground for the first time and took on five rivals, where he was sent off favourite. He had handled soft well at Sandown and he's a strong stayer, so there was every hope that he would cope with it - and boy did he do that!
He coasted upsides the leaders in the home straight and appeared to be going much the best, before gaining a clear advantage over the final flight and going on to score by nearly three lengths. This was his second career victory - his other was for previous connections - and his first over hurdles, and we have every reason to believe he can land another one this season.
This was a fourth win in a row in the Jumps sphere courtesy of Gibbs Island's back-to-back wins! With such a good run of form in the RaceShare jumping department, we are hoping Spaceport can keep the streak going as he heads to Catterick tomorrow for his hurdles debut!
The plan
Marlacoo is in training with Tom Lacey in Herefordshire.
Trainer: Tom Lacey
