Dean Ivory
TROPICS’ annihilation of the field in the Group 3 John Guest Bengough Stakes earned him a revised rating of 116, up 9lbs.
The Tattersalls October Book 1 Yearling Sales hit extraordinarily dizzy heights today with the world record price for a yearling filly being smashed when 5 million guineas was paid for a Galileo full sister to Oaks winner Was by Qatar’s Sheikh Joaan.
Dean Ivory’s Tropics, a Speightstown chestnut gelding was originally a $280,000 foal and subsequently a $700,000 yearling but he went through the ring at Newmarket in the autumn of 2011 for just 2,500 guineas!
Who needs deep pockets for a nice horse?
Harper Lodge Farm is currently buzzing with excitement. Tropics is clearly the stable star but the yard has plenty of very good horses including 98-rated Lancelot Du Lac, who currently heads the market for the Coral Sprint Cup at York on Saturday.
If you wish to get involved in a stable on the up, whether it be in a Solario Racing syndicate or a whole horse, please call Racing Manager, Simon Double on 01442 877 597.
