Approximately 150 horses galloped down the final 2.5 furlongs of Newmarket’s Rowley Mile course at the Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up sale, advertising their wares to would be suitors in attendance. The Craven Breeze Ups are the country’s and arguably Europe’s ‘premier’ Breeze ups sale, having produced countless Group 1 winning horses over the years, including our two, quite recent purchases, Group 1 winners DONJUAN TRIUMPHANT (Richard Fahey) and VENTURA STORM (Richard Hannon). It’s a tried and tested venue for ourselves and international buyers alike.
Effectively, the process is a race against the clock to procure a hierarchy of ability, rather like a time trial in cycling or a downhill skiing race. In such events, there is always a WINNER, i.e. the one who completes the course in the fastest time, and we are delighted to report that the son of EUROPE'S CHAMPION FIRST AND SECOND-CROP SIRE OF 2020 AND 2021, as well as SIRE OF A RECORD NUMBER OF 2YO WINNERS IN 2024 MEHMAS, was the fastest time on the day.
Racing Update: A listed winner & Timeform 119 earlier this year, he rather lost his way in the second half of the season. We’ve sent him away to Middleham for retraining and a break, as much as anything. Given he goes so well on the AW, we’re aiming to run him back, in the listed class “Hever Sprint” at Southwell in February - a race he was sent off favourite for, earlier this year. He’s the track record holder over 5f at Southwell, so where better to start him off? - fit and fresh! Very high class on his day.
