Good Solid Season
2014 has been a solid season with 12% winners to runners. The star emerging has been Speed Hawk who will continue his upwardly mobile campaign as a turning four year old in Dubai. We hope also to see Dragoon Guard back on track in early 2015.
Others now off to Dubai for the Dasmal team include Prince Suhail and Hard Run.
The yearling buying season is almost at an end. I have been buying mainly Dream Ahead stock for Mr Dasmal although we also got a very nice colt by Fast Company who has already been named Great Company and will go into training with Harry Dunlop representing his first horse for the Dasmal team. Another “freshman” trainer for Dasmal racing is Ralph Beckett who will get a Dream Ahead yearling I bought at Goffs. Other purchases include:-
A colt by Dream Ahead out of Tarawa to be trained by Francois Rohaut in Pau
A filly by Dream Ahead out of Big Monologue to be trained by Henri Francois Devin in Chantilly
A colt by Fast Company out of Sunlit Silence to be trained by Harry Dunlop in Lambourne
A colt by Dream Ahead out of Gladstone Street to be trained by Ralph Beckett in Kimpton
A filly by Iffraaj out of Eyrecourt to be trained by David Simcock in Newmarket
A colt by Dream Ahead out of Silent Secret to be trained by Marco Botti in Newmarket.
A colt by Dream Ahead out of Lamentation to be trained by David Simcock in Newmarket
A colt by Dream Ahead out of Complexion to be trained by David Simcock in Newmarket
In America we acquired a colt by Scat Daddy out of Volver and a sister to Speed Hawk by Street Boss, both to be trained by Robert Cowell.
There is also two homebred colts by Dream Ahead out of Poly Blue and High Spice who have yet to be assigned a trainer.
A very exciting war chest!
