Striking A Pose made the perfect start to his career when impressing in taking the Open Maiden point-to-point at Brocklesby Park on 15 February for the Tom and Gina Ellis combination. The good looking four-year-old son of Getaway jumped well throughout the contest and cleared away to win by an official distance of 25 lengths from a more experienced rival. A €36,000 store with a chasers physique he rates a very exciting prospect to take under rules.
