Mark Equal was retired by his owner/breeder Heeru Kirpalani at the age of ten. He was one that Heeru bred out of his mare Dissolution and is by Nicholas Bill. He also bred Maid Equal and Mite Equal.
Mark won a novice hurdle and three handicap chases and was placed an incredible 18 times from his 35 runs during his career, which span five years from 2001 to 2006. He was a very consistent gelding who gave his owner and the stable a lot of pleasure winning a total of £38,722 in prize money. He won under A P McCoy and Timmy Murphy and was also partnered by Tom Scudamore on many occasions. The handicapper made him pay for his common placed performances and he reached a career best rating of 138.
Mark Equal will be missed by all at Pond House although we are all sure that he will enjoy a long and happy retirement.
