Drop The Anchor (2014) Horse
About
Drop The Anchor is an 11yo bay gelding trained by P A Fahy in Carlow. He is by Shantou out of Close To Shore. To date he has secured six victories. His most notable triumph came on 7 Feb 2021 at Leopardstown, where he won the £125,000 Ladbrokes Hurdle (extended handicap, 0‑150, grade B). The horse has been a solid value for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 14 % return on investment.
