Welcome to the Gallop France blog. I’ll keep you updated here on all the latest news from the yard as I fill the stable and get started on my new career. I plan to run a very small operation, with not more than 12 horses in training at any one time. That way, every horse and every owner gets individualized attention.
Two horses bought at the sales in Newmarket last week arrived this evening: Pixie’s Blue, a three-year-old filly by Hawk Wing, and Cape Tycoon, a three-year-old gelding by Cape Cross.
Pixie was placed several times in England, and we hope she’ll move up to win here. Cape Tycoon hasn’t shown much yet, but all of his siblings are winners over hurdles, so we hope with some time to grow, he’ll come into his own.
They join Abwaab, a five-year-old Agnes World gelding who was bought in Newmarket last year and has won and placed for us, and Amour Creole, a three-year-old Trempolino filly who is just coming back from a break. Hard Way, my three-year-old homebred gelding, also has been in the fields and will come back into training next week.
You can follow their progress (and comment on it) here. It should all be quite an adventure.
