Newmarket, Great Britain – “Well, that was a good timing,” said a radiant Freddy Powell, a man with a sale that was sold next week. The work had just been done for him.
At that time, the judgment court was only known as a Justify Colt from Oak Tree Farm-a stallion foal, which would soon outperform Arqana Breeze-up with 2.3 million euros. Next year he will be the cover star of the sales catalog.
However, gigantic prices are not always a guarantee of gigantic results, but on its side, this horse had been prepared for the sale by a man who was known to a certain generation as one of the best jump jockeys of his time. Norman Williamson's skills have been transferred to this sphere so smoothly – it really only depends on the Horsemanship – and he now has a list of classic winners who are as impressive as most gigantic coaches, although he would quickly distract the loan somewhere else.
He was too busy to be in Rowley Mile on Saturday, since Williamson had sent the latest amount of horses to Deauville for this year's date in Arqana. Under the quintet there is simply another son of Justify under the quintet, and it is a secure bet that Anthony Stroud and David Loder will make a way to the Oak Tree Farm Draft after buying two Guineas winners from Williamson in the past four years. Native Trail, Godolphins 2022 winner of the Irish 2,000 Guineas, came from the Craven sale for the more modest sum of 210,000 GNS. Oasis Dream's son was also the two -year champion.
“I loaded the horses on the truck and Josh and Janet went to Punchestown,” said Williamson by phone. “I'm sitting alone here and trembling.”
He continued: “I am very cheerful about Godolphin-Sie such great supporters of the Breeze-Up sales. And that is also for the Breeze-Up senders, as we have proven that we can call a St. Leger winner, a Guineas winner, a top sprinter.”
We could soon name a derby winner. After a race track gallop in Craven Week for the government-oriented court and his third-placed stable mate Shadow of Lithe, Charlie Appleby already spoke to the current winner of Epsom and the race that his Damsire High Chaparral won 23 years ago.
This morning he said: “You always say that the Guineen in the best derby test, so we will start it there.”
They say that and do not let us carry away from the thought of a triple crown bid. However, it is challenging not to allow the mind to hike, especially in a year in which Betfred, the sponsor of all five British classics this year, has achieved a bonus of £ 2 million for a winner of this special challenge that has not been completed for 55 years.
The trainer does not seem to have changed his view. “You could see him as a derby horse, and that is exactly what we did in winter. There will be nice, robust discussions about the derby plans,” said Appleby in a press release at Newmarket after the ruled court was shortened to 5/1 favorites during the EPSOM bets.
A derby winner gave Williamson a kind of triple crown all of his own because he was also responsible for it, the Leger winner of the 2022 St. War of Will, another graduate from Arqana, returned to America and won the exploit of the exploit of seventh place in the Kentucky Derby.
“It was such a thrill that day when the will of the will in the Kentucky Derby ran,” he recalled. “But then there was local trail and now this boy. From the day we started [Ruling Court] He showed us that and they could see it as he accelerated. In a way, he is too nice because he ran almost through a wall for her, but when he drove up after the race after the race, he was like a pony. I think this horse is really something special. “
Brick walls that he didn't have to. Only Tattenham Corner and all the wonderful craziness of Epsom. Then who knows?
