The stud has operated on a small scale, breeding commercially for the Flat, for around 12 years now and during that time we have bred several winners from very few mares, including the Listed winners MONSIEUR BOULANGER and WALNUT LADY, the 100 rated 3yo FAREER, the 90 rated two year old ANGEL SPRINTS plus REVEUR, BOND CASINO, RED BAMBOO, MONTESINO, JOLLY GOOD (winner of three 2yo races in Italy and €17,500 in 2007), CARNIVAL DREAM and placed horses PASSIONATE, ONE ALONE, BLACK DRAFT and MARIANIS.

Listed Success for FAREER at York

FAREER added the Listed Hambleton Stakes to his tally on May 13th, taking his career earnings to over £100,000. He was given a cracking ride by his usual pilot, Richard Hills and led from pillar to post. He holds some fancy entries at Ascot! From two colts to race for her, both SONGSHEET's sons have achieved Listed wins. There is a 2yo DIAMOND GREEN colt to race for her later this year and a yearling COMPTON PLACE colt in the field. SONGSHEET has been scanned in foal to BAHAMIAN BOUNTY, FAREER's sire.

NOVABRIDGE Wins Again

NOVABRIDGE turned out for the third time on April 29th and won going away on very different ground to that of his first race.

First winner of 2010 !

NOVABRIDGE, by AVONBRIDGE ex PETROVNA, debuted in fairly heavy ground at Folkestone on April 1st and showed who the fools were when not getting a bid at Doncaster last year... The good-looking chesnut colt broke smartly and made all to win quite comfortably for Andy Haynes and connections. Many congratulations.

Royal Ascot Winner

Royal Ascot Winner FAREER gave us a wonderful boost when winning the very hotly contested Britannia Stakes directly after YEATS awesome fourth win in the Ascot Gold Cup. Racing from stall 15, FAREER was second last 4f out and came with a really good turn of foot to win on the line, his jockey, Richard Hills, having to plot a difficult course through the field! Many congratulations to his owner, Sheikh Hamdan al Maktoum and his trainer, Ed Dunlop and hard-working lass, Tracy Johnson! FAREER has career total winnings of some £88,000 and has shown versatility in his races from 6f to one mile. SONGSHEET currently has a DIAMOND GREEN yearling colt and a COMPTON PLACE colt foal at foot, both of which are for sale.
