Lexington Blitz

Race entries

Super Fast. Super talented. 

7th fastest in the race to the winning post, it perplexed us to learn, from the sale’s results, that he was the 103rd most expensive through the ring, at €67,000. He looks outstanding value to us! We’re pretty sure, were he by a sire such as Justify, Wootton Bassett, Lope De Vega etc, his auction price would have soared, yet none of these sires’ progenies have achieved anything comparable to those of  INVINCIBLE SPIRIT, however, he seems to be pigeonholed as a less fashionable sire than these contemporaries - we think the market’s got it wrong - 7th quickest doesn’t equate to 103rd most expensive, in our opinion!

Last year, we purchased, from Knockanglass Stables - Malc who finished 2nd in the Group 2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot - Red Zone Hero who won two races, including one under Ryan Moore at The St Leger festival, before being sold to race in Hong Kong for multiple times the figure we paid for him and The Coffee Pod, who recouped almost all of his purchase price in one hit, with his York victory in September - Thomond O’Mara’s Knockanglass Stables has proved a very happy hunting ground, for us, in the past.

Watch his breeze, here: 

Thomond said at Saturday’s Arqana Sale: “My breeze up horses have been under a cloud for most of the Breeze Ups season, I don’t know what’s been ailing them, but they’ve just been underwhelming in their breezes, not producing what I thought they would, but I’m happy to say that, this week, in Arqana, they’re starting to come right and show, on the track, what they’ve been showing me at home.” He inferred there’d be continued improvement from his horse, so who knows what his finishing position would have been, were the race to have been held in a couple of weeks’ time?
