Team Valor bought a 3yo Dubawi filly from The King this week. Fully syndicated as of today.

The King is cutting back on the broodmare band but will keep a few colts to race.

Wow, don't find one of those 'available' very often. Bred by The Queen. Mouth-watering pedigree in 4th & 5th generations. Nice acquisition! 

Jockey sat motionless on her while everyone else got busy in the stretch. Good turn of foot. 10F horse, not sure about 12F though. Couldn't help but notice the jockey's 'flat' riding style, kind of like Frankie. Collen Storey is from S. Africa, it turns out. He got another mount for the Gosdens the next day, on GSW Forest of Dean, won that one too. Up and comer.

nice! He sires class -- sprint/miler pedigree strong on dam side
shows to be a runner

how does Irwin do it?
Probably pricey---How many shares @ ??
he has clients with deep pockets and a good eye with Euro buys imo

We bought a toss out mare from the Irish group
she couldnt run, and none of the foals were much--stakes winner in Puerto Rico or somewhere down there--another still running today
We were wrong about Verrazano--thought he might be a perfect sire

Spider, I can't go into too much detail but she was acquired for the equivalent of Dubawi's 2023 fee. The principals involved got the deal done while on three different continents and the Team Valor vet could not believe being sent to Gosden's yard to vet a filly owned by The King. Obviously this never happens if The Queen was still alive but Irwin took a shot.
Sent to France, pointing to French Oaks in June.
