Due Consideration
Race entries
We’d been looking to buy a sharp and racy 2yo for 2023 for up-and-coming northern trainer Adrian Nicholls to train, and we thought that this sale was the perfect venue.
We’ve had a lot of success at this sale, paying £28,000 for the Norfolk Stakes runner up Ventura Rebel and our 2022 Group 3 and Super Sprint winner Eddie’s Boy, for instance. His hammer price was 21,000gns.
Watch him walk, here:
By the Whitsbury Manor Stud stallion, DUE DILIGENCE., we loved him at the sale. Underbidders included Tom Clover and Grant Tuer, two shrewd judges, so we were clearly in good company in the auction ring and let’s hope our horse is among very good company on the track.
Racing update (September): Already a two-time winner, he has had a very productive first half of 2024, having been placed another two times so far this season and shown another great performance with his close 2nd at Ripon on the 5th of August, as well as on the his most recent start on the 17th August. His race entries/declarations, will show on this page.
