Lia Rose
Grey filly 3 March Ulysses - Rosa Grace (Lomitas)
(Mr Eamonn Duggan)
A very strikingly marked filly who is the most recent offspring of Eamonn Duggan's great mare Rosa Grace and therefore a half sister to our own Jewel In My Crown and Rosa Gold, both of whom are prolific winners of the yard, we are delighted to have her. She has had three quiet educational runs this year and has now been turned away for a break to strengthen and mature.
Un-named
bay filly 23 February Camelot - Trail of Tears (Exceed and Excel)

Family Matters
Bay filly Due Diligence - Really Chic (Street Cry)

Kimchi
Bay filly 9 March Postponed - Indicia (Bated Breath)

Out of a Bated Breath mare , she has Feilden winner Stipulate and other black type performers like Insinuate, Stronghold, Convey and Take The Hint close up on her page. She recently had her first run in a Fillies' Novice Stakes at Southwell and has now been turned away for a break.
Hits The Front
Bay gelding 6 April Tasleet - Mawqed (Invincible Spirit)
(Storm Again Syndicate)
Rae has been keen to get hold of a Tasleet as he has done so well with his first crop and also because Rae trained both his dam and granddam (!). This compact gelding is out of an Invincible Spirit ex Shadwell mare from the family of Group 2 winner Maraahel and Lockinge winner Mustashry. He has just had three quiet runs so far and now awaits his handicap mark.
Memoranda
Chesnut filly 29 April Bobby's Kitten - Memory Lane (With Approval)
(Miss Kirsten Rausing)
A full sister to our own dual winner Melodramatica from a family owned and bred by her owner Kirsten Rausing, the owner breeder of Arc heroine Alpinista. She is from the only family that Kirsten brought over from her native Sweden. Rae rode and Uncle Nelson trained her fourth dam, Highlight, to be champion two year old filly in Sweden in 1973.
Volto di Medusa
Bay gelding Ten Sovereigns - Simply Fate (Pivotal)
(The Twilight Zone Syndicate)
A handsome gelding from Kirsten Rausing's Alborada/Alpinista family, purchased from Joseph O'Brien at the horses in training sales to give our new syndicate something to run while waiting for their two yearling fillies to get going. He has run three times, being placed third in his last run at Thurles on 5th October and has an IHRB rating of 75. He has been recommended as a straightforward horse who should be able to run regularly on turf and the all weather and give the syndicate a bit of fun.
Salaamaat
Chesnut filly Showcasing - Biri's Angel (Sir Prancealot)
(Rae Guest)
A racy looking ex-Shadwell filly who was a 200,000 guinea yearling a year ago and has since run twice for Charlie Hills, showing some promise on the second occasion. She is by top stallion Showcasing and also from the well-known sprinting family of Superstar Leo, Enticing and One Master. We are taking a chance that she will belie her modest price tag this time around. She has already shown some early promise and ran well in her first run for us in a Lingfield maiden.
