Stradivarius ex Guavia, colt

Race entries

Operation “Epsom Derby”

Almost 2 years to the day Jeremy Brummitt bought, at the BBAG yearling sales Germany, our subsequent Epsom Derby runner up LAZY GRIFF for €75,000 - his career has proven legendary amongst the Middleham Park brethren.

We asked Jeremy to revisit the elite German Sale in an attempt to hunt down for us, this year’s Lazy Griff. He’s ticked all the boxes here with this stunning son of the Champion racehorse STRADIVARIUS. €140,000 is a whopping purchase price, however we feel he’s worth every last euro of his auction price.

His dam, a 2yo winner herself has already produced two black type performers with one already earning a rating that would compete fiercely in any Derby in the World.
Our colt is the sort of horse who will progress with age but his physique is one of a robust individual who ought to be very effective early in his career too, over distances of 7f+.

See Jeremy’s thoughts and reasons for buying this colt, at the sales, in the video below.
