Amanda was at the Goffs UK Premier Sale in Doncaster on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. With the assistance of our bloodstock agents, Peter and Ross Doyle we purchased two exciting new prospects for the 2019 season.

Ridden by Jason Watson, Lightning Charlie won the ‘ABF The Soldiers Charity Handicap’ at Brighton.  He settled well in third, closed on the leading pair going well over 2f out, switched to the right when there was little room and took the lead from Wotadoll in the last half furlong to win well. We are delighted for his owners, the Lightning Charlie Partnership and Mark Treadwell who looks after him at home.

We were pleased to see an article by Nancy Sexton in Wednesday’s Racing Post about the exciting young stallion ANODIN. Nancy spoke to Vincent Rimaud of Haras du Quesnay Stud in Deauville where Anodin has stood since 2015.

He ran a promising race on debut at Ascot in July and there is 100% available for sale in this gelding.

So pleased that Lightening Dance won the Champagne Joseph Perrier Handicap at Salisbury. This is the second win of her career and we are delighted for her owners, Mr & Mrs Chandris.
