Broodmare NIKOLINE left today to be covered next month by SAINT DES SAINTS. She came to us from the top veterinary practice CLINIQUE EQUINE DE CONQUES after being admitted by her owner with chronic colic & was given only 5% chance of survival. 

Dr Fabien Relave operated on her and worked tirelessly for 48h. We picked her up on the 31 st of October when she weighed just 380kgs. Today she weighs 578kgs.

She was a very good racehorse, winning a grade 3 amongst other races & is probably one of the best daughters of Martaline. She has a three year old by Konig turf and a 2 yo & a yearling both by Kapgarde.

Mixboy, owned by Paul & Clare Rooney, maintained his unbeaten record over fences with an impressive win at Musselburgh today.  We spotted him when he was 2 yrs old in a field with the owners cows,  in the middle of nowhere in the East of France.

It was nice to see Unzing(named after an aéroplane)  winning at Market Rasen today, well done to his new connections.

Our home bred 4 yo filly CUT THE MUSTARD ran a cracking race today to win the AQPS 2400m flat race at Nantes. In doing so she beat CHAMBARD who won a Group 1 at St Cloud last time out. That makes it 2 wins from 3 runs.

It was great to see Bistouri d’honore win his first hurdle race in the 1.20 at Exeter today.

Trained by Paul Nicholls he looks an excellent prospect for three mile chasing in the future. We sold him as a yearling when he was presented for us by Goldford Stud at the Tattersalls november sale. He was a lovely yearling,tall and lanky, who always looked as if he would make up into a very nice horse.
