“Buy Of The Day….”
Tattersalls Yearling Sales Book 2…
The Thoroughbred Daily News carrying the following piece…
“Blow it up ref. It might be time to discontinue this segment because there may never be a better buy than the 5000 Guineas that Anthony Bromley went to on a Lope de Vega colt from Fittocks Stud. Four legs ? Check. A tail ? Indeed. Two eyes and a head you might ask ? Yep. Okay, in all seriousness, we obviously are not privy to how the horse vetted, but he was bought by one of the best judges in the game and, physically at least, there was very little to crib about the colt apart from the fact that he looked like he could do with a bit of time.

Deauville next week. Arqana Yearling Sale. With a plan to add some French breds to the Yearling band.

We go again…
Time, as ever, will tell. But a strong sense that we have bought the most exciting collection of young horses over the past 12 months. Some exciting 2-year-olds that will take us to all the right places, and this summer and autumn’s yearlings that will learn their trade in the months ahead…
