Top Hats Required For The Top Lot?
It’s not often Middleham Park Racing are able to secure the top lot of any sale, however, such was our determination to acquire one of the most stunning individuals you could wish to feast your eyes on, that we decided we were very determined not to be beaten to secure the services of this sensational filly. Underbidder was Alex Elliott (who buys most of Amo Racing’s horses), so with a winning bid of 155,000 gns, you can imagine our delight when the hammer went down in our favour.
However, we didn’t purchase the filly based simply on looks, we bought her primarily on account of the elite performance she’d laid down on the Rowley Mile breeze-up track the day before the sale. She officially finished 5th in the race, some 0.20 secs behind the Havana Grey filly ‘winner’, however, watching the breeze ‘live’ we’d noticed that her jockey had ever so slightly misjudged his approach to the first timing sensor and to use a racing phrase, she was “slightly slow to stride”- after the first furlong of the test, she was in 61st position out of the 170 runners, so to finish 5th overall means she’s passed 56 horses in the final 1.3f of the test. With a level pegging start and given the way she was galloping out at the end, we’re firmly of the opinion that she would have finished either 2nd or 1st in the race, if allowed to compete on level terms - & given she was beaten only 0.20 secs, that rather backs up our assertion.
We thought she was the classiest looking horse of the week and arguably the most talented horse of the week - that’s our reasoning in having had such determination in the auction ring.
Purchased from precisely the same sale as we purchased the Group 1 Prix de l’Abbaye winner and Nunthorpe 2nd, THE PLATINUM QUEEN, where better to send this filly than the very same trainer, Richard Fahey, who seems to excel with his breeze-up acquisitions? Every year, he seems to train a Group 1-winning breezer - let’s hope this stunner is the next in line.
We’d like to think, as with The Platinum Queen, she’ll debut in May and head somewhere very fashionable, sometime in June - top hats at the ready?
