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.
