We lost Deep Impact and King Kamehamaha recently in Japan and we’re looking for the next future sires. Hopefully he will be one day. We want to buy in Europe because of the different bloodlines and we wanted a Galileo. I want to prove that they can run in Japan as it’s a different style of racing - I am sure they will be successful.

If she does half as well as War Of Will she will be worth her weight in gold. She stood over a lot of ground, she moved really well and had a lot of quality to her. Frankel’s been very good to me, I’ve bought some stakes horses by him. She’s got residual value and looked the part. »

"He’s probably out of one of the most exciting young mares and one of the most exciting crosses. He’s the most gorgeous horse and temperament - he was walking around there like he owned the place. He’s been bought for Qatar Racing and we’re very very excited to have him. I was on the phone to Sheikh Fahad in California where he is watching proceedings, and I’m thrilled to get a horse like that. He is the type of horse he is now looking for - we’re breeding a lot of our own but we want to fill in the gaps and find these kinds of horses. He’s a world class horse at a world class sale. I haven’t had a chance to discuss plans with him yet, but one thing is for certain, he will go to a trainer who deserves him."

Lot 19 was the pick of the sale for me - he’s very similar to a horse that we bought for King Power called Fox Chairman. The sister is a good horse. We loved him. The first one, I think he was very nice and well balanced for a late foal. The mare has already produced two stakes horses from four. We’re very happy. Both horses have been bought for King Power.
