Race entries
Winner over 1m 6f at Baden Baden on good to soft - his final race, prior to our private purchase.
Thought good enough to contest the Group 1 German Derby in July 2023, having placed 3rd in one of the Group 2 German Derby trials, this 100 rated on the Flat, chesnut colt, looks a nice recruit for Anthony Charlton. The yard have excelled with dual purpose horses; atterly with Knight Salute and Scriptwriter no less, winning and placing in Grade 1 company.
He is by Highland Reel; the Group 2 winning 2yo; later a globetrotting middle-distance superstar, including winning 7 Group 1's and from an excellent family.

A private purchase from his owners, we’ll school him and there’s plenty more miles in the tank on the Flat, he’s very lightly raced and we saw him as a ‘no brainer’ when he was offered to us
Racing update (March): Hugely talented Flat performer, placing in middle distance Group races in Germany, and even thought good enough to run in the German Derby 2023. We bought him with being a high class staying Flat handicapper and/or a top-class Juvenile Hurdler in mind. At first, he was ‘a natural’ over his obstacles at home, however, he seemed to lose his confidence in his jump’s races. He’s rated 100 over hurdles and 100 on the Flat - he’s finished 2nd and 3rd over hurdles so he’s very well handicapped there, and we’ll exploit that at some point. We’ve gelded him since his most recent run and we’ll target some serious staying handicaps on the Flat now, with those huge prize money pots. Distances of 1m6f+ look perfectly within his compass and his very unexposed over these kinds of tests. From his 100 rating he’ll get in just about every top-class staying handicap there is - e.g. the Ascot Stakes at Royal Ascot. His race entries/declarations, will show on this page.
