“Every time we saw him he just kept lifting the bar.

“He had a great sharp head, is a very intelligent horse with good movement.

“It’s a competitive space and we’ve refined down a small list from a lot of horses, so you’ve got to be strong on the ones you are keen on and we’re pleased to get him.”

Jo Griffin of Lime Country Thoroughbreds was thrilled with the result and delighted to see her star colt joining the James Harron colts partnership group.

 

Ravenous Lass produced a colt by Flying Artie last spring and was then covered by Captivant.
