Variety Island winning at Catterick on Tuesday 30th April 2024.
We are delighted to add this lovely 2yo bay colt to our list of horses & also to have another horse with first seaon trainer Simon Whitaker. He has recently taken over the license from his father Richard, with whom we had many successes when he trained, Avon Breeze.
This colt is by the successful Australian sire Spill the Beans, who was a multiple group winner down under. He is out of the Acclamation mare Love Island, who was a 7 times winner who was rated as high as 95 & won off a rating of 91. The sire was a winner at around 7 to 8f & the dam won over a trip between 5 & 6 furlongs, so there should be plenty of speed in this fella. He is an early foal, having been born on the 16th January, so we expect him to be a pretty early type.
It took a while for the penny to drop with this fella, but once it did, he proved he could win races, when winning at Newcastle. He followed that up with a very close second. He has since been gelded and enjoyed his winter break, so we are excited to see this 3 year old back on the track and feel that there is even more improvement in him and may even turn into a Saturday horse!
