Racing Update: A fabulous opportunity to join the merry Lex Knight throng. A real MPR stalwart. Finished a good 2nd at Southwell on the 28th of Feb. Still operates in fantastic form. He wins two or so every year, runs regularly and currently is the proud holder of the Brighton Challenge Cup trophy.

Watch him cantering during our owners morning below:

A good double at Brighton today for @Joeleavy05 aboard Lexington Knight & Foinix.

That’s now 3 winners this week for Joe since returning from suspension. A push for the Apprentice title might be a tall order now, but Joe continues to ride very well & remains top value for 5lb???? pic.twitter.com/uE8140Ublw

He has such fabulous size and conformation, and as you can see from his walk and profile video here:

This son of NIGHT OF THUNDER, was sourced for us by the legendary bloodstock agents, Peter and Ross Doyle and was purchased privately.

The emergent, freshman sire of 2019 was almost undoubtedly, the "Group 1 Lockinge hero and winner of the finest 2,000 Guineas since 1971," Night Of Thunder. Being a son of the wonder sire Dubawi, it should be little surprise, that he’s shot to prominence, in such a short space of time. He’s already posting Group winners in 2020 so you can imagine our delight, in being able to purchase this fabulous son of the best, up and coming sire out there, who was being prepped for the Breeze Ups. See his stallion page and some impressive first season sire stats here: https://www.darleyeurope.com/stallions/our-stallions/night-thunder.

Here he is on the gallops, at our March owners stable visit:
