Lively Lydia, storms in for a plus 10 bonus at Windsor Monday 6th August over 6 furlongs. She was spotted by Mark at the yearling sales, however Khalifa Dasmal was called away by Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum for lunch and was not on the phone when she came through the ring. She was knocked down to Highflyer Bloodstock for just 11,000g. Thinking that cheap for a nice filly Mark asked Marion Goodbody of Castlebridge Consignment about the purchase and she told him that Eve Johnston Houghton had bought her. Having ascertained from Eve that she did not have an owner yet for her he arranged for Mr Dasmal to purchase her. Things could not have turned out better judging from her 5 length victory!!!
