Thank you Elsie and Vicky for the photographs that you…

Thank you Elsie and Vicky for the photographs that you emailed me. I will try to put them up tonight, but I should think that it will be tomorrow, as I have had an extremely busy day. Tonight’s Diary will explain.

We managed to buy three Horses today. I had been offered two on Friday, After checking their pedigrees I was not over impressed. It made me phone the person from Ireland that had bid on a few Horses at the Tattersall’s Sales in Newmarket last week. I am pleased that I didn’t buy any Horses last week as the three that I purchased today were a little over half the price that I was prepared to pay for one at the Auction.

The three Horses that I purchased are now all living in Ireland. Two will be coming to Denbury this Saturday or Sunday. The other one is being left in Ireland until she goes to the Stallion, very early in February.

We have purchased one Filly Foal by a French Sire called Hellissio. Hellissio is a multiple three and four year old Group winning Horse, including five Group 1. over ten to twelve furlongs. In 1996 it won the French Premier Flat Race, The Prix de l’Arc Triomphe. I haven’t seen the Filly. She was got to keep Willow company, but when we see her we will soon know if she is going to be alright to race. Nothing will be lost if she is not.

The next one that we have purchased, I know very little about, she will be here over the coming weekend. She is about eight years old. She has had three previous Foals, and is now carrying a Colt Foal by Trans Island, that is due in the middle of March. Trans Island was a multiple Group winning Horse over 6 to 8.1/2 furlongs as two, three, four and five year old. The Mare was purchased to keep Lady’s Foal, due in April company.

The third Horse is named Hearthstead Dancer a 2003 Filly by Royal Academy, another multiple Group winning Sire including two Group 1 at two and three, over six furlong to a mile. The Filly has won one race and two places as a two year old. She has also been placed over Hurdles. She is the type of Filly that I was looking to buy last week, but in Foal. She is the right age to be putting into Foal next year. The Filly will be kept in Ireland and will go to the Stallion very early in February. With a Mares gestation period of eleven months, we will be looking for a Foal to be born in January 2009. A soon as The Filly has been successfully mated she will be bring her back to the Farm, I should think late February. I will let you know more about the two that will arriving at Denbury at the weekend.
