with a range of Group/Grade 1 winners including Bosra Sham (1,000 Guineas),
Hawk Wing (7-10f at 2yo to 4yo), Hector Protector (French 2,000), Hula
Angel (Irish 1,000), Ciro (8f 2yo in France) & Gay Gallanta (6f 2yo)
in Europe and Hansel (up to 12f on dirt), Mahogany Hall & Timber Country
(Breeders' Cup Juvenile) in the US.
-
A mixed record with smallish groups of British raced 2yos but usually with
above average figures for winners to runners and especially for strike
rate (because his runners tend to be with trainers who target a small number
of 2yo runs). Gets winners at 6f to 8f and normally from late July onwards
(also linked to the types of trainers & owners who have his representatives).
-
No winner at Listed level or above in 2002-5 and most wins have been in
later season maidens.

Three yearlings sold at British & Irish sales in 2005 for an average
around 25,000gns.
