Ardad ex Travel Writer Colt

Race entries

Purchased at the Goffs UK Breeze Up sale, this colt is by ARDAD. The sire of three-time Group 1 winner and now sire in his own right, PERFECT POWER.

We were delighted to secure this fabulous son of Ardad for, what we thought was, a very reasonable/bargain price of £40,000. He finished 8th in the timed breeze of over 200 horses of Town Moor on Tuesday morning and horses that finished in front of him, subsequently, sold for £280,000, £300,000, £100,000 (she was tiny but we bid £90,000), £300,000, £420,000, £190,000 (we bid £175,000) & £125,000 respectively. A further 64 horses sold for more than our colt, so a simple analysis of the ‘bang for your bucks’, would suggest we’ve secured exceptional vaulted.

He has bounced out of last week’s Doncaster Ups, renowned for producing more Royal Ascot winners than any other Breeze Ups sale, in superb order, and he’s been cantering everyday whilst settling in. The plan is to start to fine tune him for the races, beginning next week, and you’d hope to see him debut later this month, all being well, this side of Royal Ascot.

In his breeze, he had everything we look for and we’d be thrilled if he proved to be another star for us like The Platinum Queen, Donjuan Triumphant, Ventura Storm, Malc, Maylandsea etc etc, the list goes on.
