“So that the record is clear let me tell you that, following Mark Crossman’s advice, I was bidding on the colt (Dream Ahead) by telephone…..Mr Crossman advised me to stop bidding. Mr Crossman then negotiated the purchase of the colt privately after the auction for a similar amount as the final bid.” – Khalifa Dasmal 23/08/2010

Extract from email from Mark to Khalifa the day after the breeze up

“The nice Diktat colt has turned up….. for sale for £35,000.00….the vendor wants to keep half or a leg but I think could be persuaded to sell outright…. I think he is a smashing horse otherwise I wouldn’t bother…….” – 23 April 2010 10:33
