Rose Cotton

Hasmonean Racing are excited to announce the purchase of an incredibly well bred New Bay filly out of Group 3 and Listed winning mare ‘Aim to Please’. Having vetted clean and shortlisted by industry renowned bloodstock agent Billy Jackson-Stops, the filly will be trained by Tom Clover, trainer of Group 2 winning Royal Ascot filly Rogue Millennium. New Bay has sired Group 1 performing fillies Saffron Beach and Shuwari, as well as multiple other Stakes winners.

Given the strength of her page, and her sound physical, we expect shares to sell out quickly so please get in contact should you wish to find out more and become part of her story from the outset. Since arriving at the yard Tom has expressed his delight at welcoming such an exciting filly to the yard. We were only interested in this filly at the sales so to take her home is very exciting. She is a smooth walking, good sized filly who will be aimed at 7f to a mile races in the Autumn, ahead of what could be a very exciting three year old campaign. Should she live up to her page, we will hope to enter her into a Guineas trial in due course.

Update July 22nd – Rose Cotton has completed her breaking in phase and has really excelled. Mike Murphy and Tom Clover couldn’t be happier with her. She has now returned to Tom’s yard and Tom will bring her along slowly, with the view to getting her out on track towards the end of the year.

Gordon Grey

Gordon Grey is in flying form. In his last 6 starts, Gordon has finished in the top two every time, winning twice! In his most recent start at Epsom, he won the Amateur Ladies Derby by 3 and 3/4 lengths going away.

He should continue to be very competitive off his current mark and he should give us many memorable days out both on the flat and over hurdles in time.

Potential targets for Gordon on the flat are:

Epsom 26th August – Amateur Derby 12F

Epsom 12th September – Jump jockeys Derby 12th September.

Gordon Grey seems to excel on the quirkier and front running tracks. He is the perfect horse for people looking for a duel purpose horse that runs every 3 to 4 weeks.

Shares are now available for purchase. Please get in touch to find out more.

 

Maith An Farhh

 

 

Well bred Farhh colt with an exciting future. Out of New Approach mare Deborah, Dam of 2 winners from 2 runners. Plenty of black type on Dam side. Farhh himself won both the Lockinge and Champion Stakes, both Group One races on last two starts. Excellent prospect for a little later on this season and should make into an exciting three year old.

He had a 4 week break since his breeze and has now joined full training with James Ferguson in Newmarket. James has had recent success with another Farrh colt Like a Tiger who is aiming for some Blacktype later this season. We have acquired this Farhh colt at the Goffs Doncaster breeze up sale. We were very impressed that this colt run a very respectable time, taking into consideration he was running over 2.5F and he is a 8-10F horse, taking on 90% 5F early sprinters. Interestingly his speed data for metres per second for the second furlong was in the top 13% of the whole 200 horses that breezed, when he got going he really covered some ground! We believe we have excellent value for a horse who will only improve with time. This colt offers prospective owners the chance to get involved with a horse who on another day may have gone for a lot more than we were able to acquire him for.

 

Since we made this purchase, his page under the second dam has improved considerably. Marhaba Ya Sanafi has gone on to win the 2000 French Guineas and placed 3rd in the Jockey Club.

 

Maith An Farhh has had 3 runs for us so far as a 2 year old. It became clear to us that he needs a few more months for him to show us his true potential. He has been gelded and will now have the opportunity to strength up before targeting a handicap in January. He will be a lovely horse once stepped up in trip in the new year.

Billiegee was picked up for 21,000 Euros at the Goffs Autumn Yearling Sale. We think we have a great pedigree for our money. She was supplemented for this sale and she was sold right at the end of the sale, when most people have already gone home! We are very confident on this stallion and with a pedigree page like this, we are adamant that by the time she makes her debut, she will look like a bargain. We have bought this filly under the guidance of agent Avenue Bloodstock. Mark specialises with this type of filly and he bought DEAUVILLE LEGEND for his client. He is so keen on this filly, that he is taking a share in her.

Mark Mcstay ” The Waldgeist filly ex Donau is extremely athletic and from an exceptional family. I’ve counted 11 individual stakes winners on the catalogue page. The sire was a top class racehorse who has all the credentials to go right to the top. All things considered, I really think she presents a really exciting opportunity to get involved with a high class racing prospect”.

 

Billiegee has made a very encouraging start to the racecourse. She ran a eye-catching 2nd on debut before winning second time of asking over an extended mile. We gave her one more run as a two year old for education on the turf before sending her away on holiday. She’s due to come back into training on December 1st and with a pedigree like hers, she should be even better for time and a step up in trip.

Update 22nd July 2024

 

Billiegee wins for the second time in her short career at Doncaster. Breezing to the front with a furlong to go to win a tad cosily. It was a competitive race for the grade on ground we considered a little fast for her. We expect her to carry on improving in the Autumn when the ground conditions turn softer.
