Introducing our latest addition to the Nicky Henderson string
Mon 25 Jun 2018
By top National Hunt sire MILAN, out of a FLEMENSFIRTH mare.
We bought this filly from the Goffs Landrover Sale in Ireland in conjunction with renowned bloodstock agents HIGHFLYER, who tweeted their thoughts on her immediately after (see gallery). The Land Rover Sale has been the best source of Cheltenham Festival winning store horses every year since 2014; most notably the Nicky Henderson trained star Altior.
The Champion Trainer was delighted that we secured her and even asked if he could train her! There is arguably no finer trainer of mares than Nicky Henderson and this daughter of Milan was one he wanted to bring home.
Nicky said: "A wonderful looking mare who oozes quality. She has size and scope and will be effective in all three disciplines and looks like she will come to hand readily. She’s got a great black type pedigree and I couldn't be more delighted to train her.”
She has settled in well and is making remarkable progress already since her arrival from Ireland. See her full details and a video taken of her this weekend on her page here: http://www.middlehamparkracing.net/horses/view,milan-ex-by-the-hour-flemensfirth-filly_203.htm
Her shares start at £1,000 upfront for a 2.5% share, with one complementary Owners badge and £2,000 for a 5% share with 2 complementary badges. The monthly training fees are payable from October 1st 2018.
