Sale/Syndicate Information

Bryan secured this super colt by Caturra from the Goffs Breeze Up Sale 2026. He is from a top class family and is a very exciting prospect.

His Sire- Caturra:

  • This lovely colt is by the fastest son of the record breaking sire and speed influence Mehmas. A winner of the GROUP 2 Flying Childers in a faster time than Big Evs, Caturra was eventually rated higher than Mehmas himself. His first yearlings this year have made up to £60,000 and have all been beautiful specimens.
  • Trained by Clive Cox who said, ‘A real sprinter in his width of hip. Caturra’s got a serious back end and engine. And very laid back, a wonderful mind. I’ve never had a sprinter with such a sober attitude.’

Damline: – Poppets Sweetlove was a three time winner over 7f to 1 mile. She has bred seven winners including:

  • Patentar – 3 x winner, rated 108 inclulding 2nd Grade 2 at Santa Anita and 3rd Listed Gisborough Stakes.
  • Beauty Charge – 6 x winner in Hong Kong over 6 furlongs and £921,938 in prize money rated 96.
  • Lady Poppy – 9 x winner over 5 furlongs.
  • Khamry – 2 x winner rated 86.

The second dam bred the Champion Sprinter Overdose, Listed winner Majestic Mount and Listed placed Poppets Treasure.

Physical:

His Breeze:

  • This colt breezed on the bridle, something that you don’t often see. This is what really drew Bryan to him.
  • He covered the ground with ease and coasted past the stands with much in hand.
  • His breeze can be viewed here:

Training and race plans:

  • He arrived with us from the Goffs Breeze Up Sale (April 22nd) and has settled in well.
  • We will start his training here in Hambleton when we will assess what trip will suit. He will likely start over 6 furlongs.
  • He qualifies for Band C races so will likely start in a restricted novice or maiden race for two year olds.

  • Moviesta – 7 x winner + £258,054 and GROUP 2 King George Stakes 5F
