Every year, fine thoroughbreds from all over Europe and international jockeys take part in the races at the White Turf in St. Moritz enthralling guests from around the world. On three Sundays in February, more than 30,000 spectators flock to the frozen expanse of Lake St. Moritz to witness the excitement and entertainment of the races against the magnificent backdrop of the Engadine mountains.

WARGRAVE, ridden by Denis Schiergen, won the prestigious Group 2 Grosser Preis von St Moritz under an excellent front running ride. This race had been the plan for this horse since Paul Bowden bought him at Tattersalls last autumn. A hugely impressive performance in stunning surroundings !!

Every now and then, a chance meeting-up and a casual conversation leads to the formation of a dynamic and exciting partnership. Coolhurst Vineyards’ sponsorship of George Baker Racing is just such a union.

The new alliance is heavy with synergy. Here are two West Sussex family ventures which started at almost exactly the same time by two old mates from the same year at their school whose parents had been lifelong friends. Both youthful businesses are forging their respective paths striving for excellence, acclaim and success.

Coolhurst has become one of the most talked about boutique heritage brand vineyards in England. The Lady Elizabeth Vintage Sparkling Rosé has been lauded as the best in the UK and the Cotes de Provence Rosé has enjoyed huge plaudits and ovations rapidly growing in demand all the while retaining a degree of exclusivity. Many remarkably similar characteristics would be applied to GBR.

We, absolutely, share a desire to be the best at what we do, have enormous fun doing it and to celebrate the appreciation of our clients; with our clients.

Here’s to the future of this affiliation; celebrating GBR’s success with Coolhurst Vineyards wines.
