SPECTACULAR STYLE was purchased privately and will remain with Roger Varian.
Racing Update: Bought privately on Roger Varian’s recommendation, we’d hoped he’d be heading to Royal Ascot for races like the middle distance Copper Horse handicap. Unfortunately one or two physical ailments precluded that last Summer, and he may well make up into a high class handicapper once again, however, we’re going to focus, this Winter, on the All Weather programme, courting the winners’ enclosure, all being well. Looks very good value at current valuations.
He tore the opposition apart last time out, winning by 20 lengths, in a fast time, as the Racing Post commented “eased from over 1f out, canter”.
Handicapped at 84, Roger feels there is plenty more to come. A son of the mighty Frankel out of a Montjeu mare, he’s bred to stay particularly well and he’s a full brother to a horse rated 104. There ought to be further improvement physically, as well as up in distance, and as this 3yo colt matures into his huge frame. He’s done well to achieve what he has already in his very short career.
He has all the hallmarks of those Newmarket horses who rise through the ranks as they mature and race over extended trips. Northumberland Plates & Ebor’s could easily be on the agenda if Roger’s projected trajectory for him is correct. He’s still an entire, and we could choose to geld him at some point, which should bring out further improvement.
