Offered by Bluegate Stud as Lot 72, the athletic chesnut colt attracted plenty of fans both inside and outside the ring, but it was Cox who had the final say for the colt who was bred by Al Wasmiyah Farm. “We’re delighted to get Snazzy Jazzy’s brother, as he won the sale race and was a prolific earner for us. I loved him when I saw the horse. He is really athletic and sadly there are not many Red Jazzes around,” Cox said. “I am delighted to secure him, especially for Middleham Park Racing, as he is our first horse for them. I’m really thrilled to have an opportunity to train a horse like this for them.” He added: “They were both athletic horses and, knowing his brother, it made a lot of sense to buy this colt. He’s a nice horse and a full-brother to a 110-rated horse from a proper black-type family. The mare is still quite young as well.” As well as his full-brother, the colt is a half-brother to the Gr.3 Prix Texanita winner Ross Castle (Bushranger), the Listed winner Ten Year Ticket (Rock Of Gibraltar) and the Gr.3-placed Admiral Lot 72, Bluegate Stud’s Red Jazz full-brother to Gr.3 winner Rous (Henrythenavigator).
