New horse for sale

Sunday, 02 December 2012

Rae has had his buying boots on again at Tattersalls December yearling sale.  Among others he bought and is offering for sale a daughter of second season sire Tamayuz, a dual Group 1 winner in France from just seven starts.  This one is a well made filly out of the young Montjeu mare, Lolla's Spirit, from the family of Classic hopeful Housemaster, third in the Racing Post Trophy in his year. For more details see the horses for sale page.  As before, if she is bought and paid for by 24 December, Rae will pass her on at cost, being 9,000 guineas plus VAT and keep to the date of purchase, provided she stays in the yard.

Ever Fortune doubles his score

Tuesday, 30 October 2012

Ever Fortune scored comfortably at Yarmouth this afternoon in very heavy ground under a patient and considerate ride from Frankel's jockey Tom Queally to take the yard to 35 winners for the year so far, our best ever.  Ever Fortune is a lovely little horse who is kind, honest and tries his hardest.  He had been feeling in very good form, fresh and well, before this race and happily his owner, Mr Li Fung Yok, has resisted the urge to send him to the sales this week.  Well done to everyone concerned.  God's Gift ran a second good race, being placed third again but probably finding the heavy ground too testing.

Rae has been busy at the sales

Saturday, 20 October 2012

The last week or two has been incredibly busy with runners most days and Rae up at Tattersalls main October yearling sales hoping to buy next year's winners.  There are five yearlings in the yard at the moment, in a separate barn as like children at school they often come full of coughs, colds and other bugs.  He is pleased with what he has bought and as of now there is just one being offered for sale to stay in the yard, a Compton Place filly pictured right from the family of Notnowcato.  See the horses for sale page for more details but if this filly is bought and paid for within a fortnight Rae will pass her on to a buyer at cost.  If you are interested please feel free to call Rae on 07711 301095 but do it soon as this is a time limited website exclusive offer.

Yearlings here so far

Friday, 19 October 2012

Here are some pictures of some of the yearlings we have in the yard so far.  It is always fascinating to see them now and compare how they turn out as racehorses in the coming year or so.

This one is as flashy and glamorous as they come, being grey with four white socks.  She is by leading sire of two year olds Dutch Art from a good Cheveley Park family of Cupid's Gory, Clinical, Courting and Fury.  An attractive filly for our new owner Mr Benton, welcome to the yard and be lucky!

A second one Rae found for Mr Benton, this Exceed and Excel filly is chunky, looks fast and was popular at the sales.  She was bought from Stourbank Stud and is the half sister to US Grade 2 winner Starlarks out of the prettily named Violet, the dam of four winners.  Exceed and Excel is a proven source of speed, being the sire of Excelebration, Margot Did and Best Terms in the Northern Hemisphere and Group 1 winners Helmet and Reward for Effort down under.

By Shamardal, sire of Lope de Vega and Casamento among other Group 1 winners, this substantial filly is fairly typical of her sire having a strong top line and being well forward for her stage of life.  She is from the international family of French Listed winner Greek Air and Dark Shell, a Listed winner at Newbury.  She was bought for Eamonn Duggan in October 1.

This is an attractive filly by a sire that Rae likes in Oratorio, out of a young Cape Cross mare who is the dam of one winner from one runner.  She is an atractive filly from the family of our own star dual Group 1 winner Serious Attitude (also out of a Cape Cross mare).  That being so she could not be owned by anyone other than Derek Willis in whose purple and yellow colours she will run.  Rae bought her at Goffs Sportsmans Sale.

Guiletta makes it 34

Tuesday, 16 October 2012

Today was a busy day for the Hornets with both of Oaks fifth Gulia's offspring running at Leicester.  First up was the grey Guiletta, already a winner this year, who took the claimer in gritty fashion and then was claimed by Mr J L Flint, who we wish much more success with her.  Guiletta has done great for us, well done her.  God's Gift, her chesnut full brother who we expected to be green and backward also ran an excellent first race to finish third, which is as much as anyone could have expected and promises well for the future.  Well done the Hornets!
