This year has seen investment in some class stock - not least of which is our yearling colt "Hurricane Spear", by Hurricane Run out of Sarissa.Harry- as we have christened him - is growing well and has the look of both his famous father and grand-father (Montjeu). As a first crop foal there is nothing to compare his likely future to, but we expect him to be a great prospect for the 2010 flat season. His dam is a USA registered filly with 6 runs to her name and a successful, if modest, set of results to go with them. She is the daughter of Group 1 winner Diesis who was Champion 2 year old in 1982.
Of course his sire is in another stratosphere! Winner of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, the Irish Derby, King George VI and 4 other grade 1 races; number 1 ranked horse in the World in 2004 and 2005 and winner of 0ver £5.2 million - Hurricane Run now stands at Coolmore Stud in Ireland.
We are even more excited by Harry's future given that his sire almost completely matched the performance of grand-sire Montjeu in winning the same group 1 races. A genetic masterpiece.
We are very pleased to have acquired Hurricane Spear on a 2 year lease from owner Stuart Matheson and will be preparing Harry for pre-training at the end of this Summer with a view to seeing him in action as a 2 year old.
