From the very fast family of Kachy and Mary Read
Purchased at the Craven Breeze Up Sale and by the leading first season sire Havana Grey.
Her breeze was quite remarkable. Remarkable because she most definitely did not hit the time sensors ‘running’, certainly not at full kilter, that’s for sure. Furthermore, you can see that not only is she a little slow to stride, but that she also gets a tad unbalanced for the first 3 or 4 strides of the breeze and is simply ‘held together’, for the first 100 yards or so. It’s remarkable therefore, how on earth she managed to finish in the top 10 or 11 of the 160 Breeze Up cohort, up against some of Europe’s finest thoroughbred stock, by the time her breeze was being completed.
She’s a luscious looking filly, with a swagger and clear air of distinction about her. The “buzz” about her, wasn’t without foundation. Post breezes, we went to see her, on a number of occasions, and each and every time, there was a queue of potential suitors, waiting to view her, such popularity did she have. A number of trainers and agents approached us to highly recommend her, the first of whom, was the Derby, Oaks, Nunthorpe, and Ascot Good Cup winning trainer Michael Bell and we immediately made her our number 1 target for the master of Fitzroy House, Newmarket.
She could just be a lucrative spend of 100,000gns, given talented fillies often retain significant residual value and can prove valuable assets for the paddocks, once their career in racing in over. However, more immediately she has a number of financial ‘Bonuses’ attached to her:
She qualifies for the Craven Sale Breeze Up Bonus of £15,000, if she wins a normal Novice or Maiden race, before the turf season ends. Tattersalls reported: "Owners of two-year-olds bought at the 2022 Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale will be rewarded with multiple bonuses as Tattersalls will offer the £250,000 Tattersalls Craven Royal Ascot/Group 1 Bonus, in addition to the lucrative and widely acclaimed £15,000 Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Bonus scheme."

Even more lucratively, she can win any number of Great British Bonuses of £20,000 for victories, for which she is 100% qualified (see the gallery for her pedigree update), for a victory in such Novice, Maiden or conditions races. Eg in a typical first win of her career, which could easily be just around the corner, she could earn £35,000 in Bonuses, in addition to the day’s regulation win prize money of around £5,000. Simple maths would decree that roughly 35-40% of her purchase prize could be won back in one, successful day’s work. Obviously, we can’t take that as a given, to happen, but it’s perfectly feasible, with the information about her, that we currently have, to hand. Read about the GBB Bonus scheme here.
2nd in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot!
Racing Update: A 100,000gns purchase around a year ago at The Craven Breeze Ups, she’s proven a real revelation - winning on debut, finishing 2nd in The Queen Mary at Royal Ascot no less, and finished her 2yo season off, earning two further pieces of black type. Will always retain a HUGE residual value, once her racing days are over, however there’s plenty more water to flow under her racing career bridge, before we entertain that. She’ll start off in a fillies’ listed race on 21st April and she should take us to all the top festivals, throughout the year. We may pay the occasional visit to Paris, Deauville, or the Emerald Isle, in search of further black type glories. She’s wintered well and is thriving. Highly recommended. TIMEFORM RATED: 100. Her race entries/declarations will show on this page.
