We are looking forward to Epsom tomorrow, Lavender’s Blue will be running in the Oaks for owner and breeder Mr Andersson. Her dam, Beatrice Aurore also owned by Mr Andersson finished sixth in the race in 2011.

Annie Angel will go through the ring at Doncaster on Thursday, she is Lot 846 at the Goffs UK Spring HIT/P2P sale. She won a Mares’ Handicap Chase convincingly at Fontwell by six lengths earlier this month (8th May). She jumps well and is ready to run through the summer months and would make an ideal point-to-point horse.

Forty-five years to the day since ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Waterloo, Lavender’s Blue was narrowly beaten in a Listed race at Newbury finishing second in the Haras De Bouqetot Fillies’ Trial Stakes for owner breeder Benny Andersson on Saturday.

We are delighted for her owner George Materna and well done to Martina Polzerova who looks after her at home!

Lavender’s Blue won her racecourse debut this afternoon at Newmarket under Robert Havlin. She won the ‘bet365 European Breeders’ Fund Fillies’ Maiden Stakes’ by two and a half lengths from Maamore.
