An exciting new breeze-up purchase joins Richard Fahey

Wed 17 May 2017

The Group 1 winning Richard Fahey trained racehorse WOOTTON BASSETT has made a quite outstanding start to his Stallion career, siring champion middle distance horse Almanzor, (winner of the Irish and English Champion Stakes, the French Derby and was crowned Champion Middle distance horse in Europe 2016) along with the high class Do Re Mi Fa Sol, as well as 58% winners to runners and 22.5% of his horses being rated in excess of 90; 6.5% of them Stakes race winners. You simply would struggle to find a sire having made a better start to a career at stud.

In this fabulous colt, who we feel oozes class, we really think we have something special on our hands. He breezed fantastically at Arqana on 12th May 2017, demonstrating both a fabulous stride and a great attitude in going about his business. He is bred to get every inch of a mile and ought to race over 6f to begin with before stepping him up in trip to really demonstrate what he has under the bonnet. He has great size and strength; Richard Fahey, his trainer, likens him very much to his father Wootton Bassett which has to be a good sign. There is every reason to believe that we could have a high-class horse on our hands, with us having had to go to a lofty bid of €87,000 to buy him and given the quality he has already demonstrated in his breeze.

He qualifies for the very lucrative French Premiums system, whereby 64% is added to all his earnings, in addition to any prize money he may earn when he races in France. He represents a brand-new addition to our Richard Fahey, Musley Bank team and we cannot wait to see him on the track, strutting his stuff in our light blue and orange silks.
