Seeing is Believing!

Eve: "He is a cracking colt. He has done everything he has been asked and is going nicely. I couldn't be happier at this stage!"

We’ve enjoyed some incredible fortune, if that’s indeed what it is, with the progeny of Tally Ho inmate INNS OF COURT - notably the black type, Group performers THE STRIKIN VIKING and ZIGGY’S DREAM alongside the very talented youngster ZIGGY’S ARIEL. So, when we went to see this stunning colt, a half-brother to the Group 1 performer BELIEVING, it was little surprise that our bloodstock team fell in love.

The footballing parlance “worldy” was banded around with immediate effect such was the show he put on. It’s fair to say that we fully expected having to stretch to the £75,000 we’ve had to bid to secure the colt’s services for 2025 and beyond - a bit of a stretch, but worth every penny, was our bloodstock team’s consensus.

There’s simply no compromise whatsoever for this colt, he ticked every single box. He heads to one of the finest 2-year-old trainers in the country in Eve Johnson-Houghton who has enjoyed a feast of festival successes in recent years and we see no reason why this fellow can’t continue that, nor why he can’t emulate the, on track, prowess of his elder sibling BELIEVING.

He’ll have his owners dreaming of Royal Ascot, all winter, no doubt - he looks the perfect ticket. We can’t wait to discover where his ceiling lies.

"Pedigree Update: Under the first dam, half sister BELIEVING, 2nd in the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes, over 5f Curragh Racecourse."

Dont stop believing!

See a video of him walking below. What a stunning individual with the pedigree to match:

And not to forget the £100,000 Somerville Auction Stakes as well as the ever popular £150,000 Tattersalls October Auction Stakes, where he is eligible to run in. He also qualifies for a €10,000 'IRE' bonus, should he win a qualifying maiden or novice Stakes race in 2025.

Training Update: He has settled in beautifully at Eve's and keeps improving and progressing. Eve likes him and thinks he is a lovley mid-season type, who shows plenty of talent. Watch videos of this striking individual cantering upsides on the gallops below.
