Golden Berenice
Race entries
*We purchased her from the Goffs Premier Yearling Sale 2022, for £32,000. This is the best Sale of the season for 2yo’s. It is where we purchased our Group 1 winner and Champion European 2yo 2013; TOORMORE (£36,000), Group 2 winner VENTURA TORMENTA and dual Group 2 winner KOOL KOMPANY (£40,000)*
She is by TWILIGHT SON. Tim says: “Unbelievable value we thought. A full sister to a listed winner and Group 3 placed horse in Italy. Possibly the fact that the form is in Italy & that Twilight Son has lost a little cast of late, could explain why we bought her for a lot less than we thought we’d have to give”.
She is 100% GBB BONUS QUALIFIED. Read about this scheme, here.
Watch her walk, here:
She’s bred to be fast and sharp and there’s no reason to believe she’ll be anything other than that. We’d be very surprised if she wasn’t busy and active throughout her 2yo season. She’s not going to line up in April, most likely, she’s just been kept ticking over, of late. If her pedigree is anything to go by, fillies’ races (hopefully black type ones) will be on the agenda later this season and we do like to have runners at the main, summer festivals, where our silks are regularly seen!
We’ve a proven track record of delivering, year in, year out, and we’d hope a fair number of our Goffs Uk purchases can deliver on the highest stage, again in 2023.
The same MPR buying team, who bought last year's juveniles did a great job, with 18 pieces of 2yo black type earned in 2022 and no doubt they have struck gold with this one too!
Training Update (27th April): Richard is not doing anything too serious with her, just going steady away with her each day (see her in this mornings video below and in the gallery.) We will look at letting her tell us when she's ready for a bit more action which will be upsides and galloping at home. She has a bit of size to her so it's not like we're missing out with a first half of the season only filly.
You can see her in the video below, she is the chesnut with the rider wearing a red and black jacket:
