Our January foaling mares decided to take their time and whereas seven were due, only one obliged. Six carried over to early February producing strong healthy foals and more importantly six colts from seven foaled mares.
GalleryVarenka – a Zebedee colt born on the 12th of March
This is a strong powerful colt weighing in at 150 lbs. It is obvious that the Green Dessert cross works with this mare as her previous best progeny was Whispering Warrior by Oasis Dream. She will visit the Coolmore stallion Power.
GalleryLoreto – a Teofilo colt born on the 9th of March
Loreto is a winning daughter of Witch of Fife – one of the Croom House foundation mares. Her first foal, a Pivotal 2YO in 2016 will race for Qatar Racing. She has a Sea the Stars filly which will go to one of the top sales.
GalleryIhearyouknocking – a Tamayus colt born on the 2nd March
Ger Lyons has been a great admirer of Ihearyouknocking progeny as he trained both the 3YO Restive (already a winner at 2) and also Nelisandra, a filly by Intense Focus. This Tamayus colt looks an out and out 2YO
GalleryTyranny – A Dubawi filly born on the 27th February
Like all Tyranny’s progeny this is another outstanding filly. Her son Wiltshire Boulevard is gone to stud in 2016 and hopefully he can emulate the illustrious brother Zoffany

Cedar Sea’s 2YO by Lawman was sold at the Goffs Orby and is in training with Mark Johnston. She has a Declaration of War yearling and will go back to Cape Cross the sire of Corsica – a group three winner and third in the ledger at Doncaster.

Oui Say Oui had a year off in 2015. Her 2YO by New Approach is in training with Ger Lyons and the mare herself will visit Fastnet Rock this year.
GallerySweepstake – An Australia colt born on the 8th February
An outstanding foal and a very good reason why we will send mares back to Australia. Sweepstake gives us lots to look forward to in 2016. Her 4YO, Horseshoe Bay, already placed in a group three remains in training with Sir Michael Stoute; her 3YO by Galileo named Finian’s Bay is in training with
