We have purchased five yearlings, four colts and one filly from the major sales in the UK and Ireland. KVT is in the enviable position of having our horses trained in some of the top yards in the country and we welcome Ed Walker to our roster for 2020. Ed has been based at the historic Kingsdown Stables in Upper Lambourn since 2016 and has sent out over 300 domestic winners. Kingsdown was responsible for the winner of the 1974 Derby with Snow Knight. We have had a fantastic season with our three-year-old boys. Persian Moon competed in many a race and ran at most of the major festival meetings. Although he narrowly missed getting his head in front, he was a memorable fourth at Royal Ascot and has now been sold for a considerable profit to race overseas. Flashcard was another stand-out this season winning a valuable handicap at Ascot before being placed in Group 3 company. He too will continue his racing career abroad having been privately sold for around 10 times his original purchase price. These two were rated in the 100’s and not far behind has been the shrewdly purchased Sir Busker, who has now won three times, is rated in the 90’s and will be a KVT flag bearer for next season. Scheduled to come back next season is our star sprinter Magical Memory who has been off-games for a year or so, but is currently in good shape and should return to Charlie Hills in the New Year. Our two-year-old’s have not really got fully rolling this year for various reasons, although Dance Fever has won two from two and looks an exciting colt for next year. He had some niggles in the Spring but has flourished since heading to Clive Cox after some excellent work from Hetta Stevens. Both Kashmirella and Spanish Kiss made promising debuts and both look to have a good year ahead of them as they grow into their frames. Streak Lightning was showing up well at Mark Johnston’s before he was sidelined with an injury, but we look forward to his progress next season, especially as his sire has had a fantastic start to his stud career. Flashcard’s not-so-little sister Castleinthesand will need a little more time but both her half-brother and sire have had great years and we remain highly excited about her future. We have all been treated to some excellent stable visits this year and, as always, we thank our trainers, their wives and teams for looking after us all so well. 2020 will follow a similar programe and we will be sending round the dates early in the New Year. This is now our 7th crop of yearlings since we took over the KVT reins from Nick Robinson, when Magical Memory was shown to some of you, and although yearling prices have risen over this period we have managed to purchase all these new babies for around our target price of £50,000. Therefore a special mention for the efforts of our bloodstock agent Luke Lillingston who has, along with our trainers and team, unearthed what we believe to be a fine group of youngsters. As ever shares will be sold on a first come first served basis and we wish you the very best of luck with your new purchase. Sam Hoskins and Piers Winkworth THE ANDREW BALDING SYNDICATE Holy Roman Emperor / Izola colt This colt is by the top class two-year-old Holy Roman Emperor, who famously retired to stud prematurely upon the announcement of George Washington’s infertility. He has proven a high class stallion ever since with many top class sons/ daughters flying his flag all over the world. These include this year’s Prix Jacques Le Marois (Group 1) winner, Romanised, and of course KVT’s own Charles The Great who won the Weatherbys Super Sprint before being sold to race on in Hong Kong where he made up into a high class and consistent sprinter. The dam, Izola, is by the well-bred Beat Hollow and was rated 95 herself on the flat in her native France when trained by Freddy Head. She is a half-sister to the Listed winner Brick By Brick and their dam, Pivka, is a daughter of the Nell Gwyn (Group 3) winner Ghariba, herself a great broodmare. We bought this colt for €38,000 at the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale which makes him eligible for the €300,000 Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sales Race. Andrew Balding will train him which is very appropriate given he also trained Charles The Great for KVT. Both Andrew’s mother, Emma, and assistant, Tessa Hetherington, were great admirers of this colt at the sale. Luke Lillingston commented: “One of Nick Robinson’s best and most profitable buys was Charles The Great by the perennially successful sire Holy Roman Emperor. The last time we teamed up with Emma Balding was for Flashcard at this sale. Flash’s dam is by the outstanding broodmare sire Pivotal, sire of this colt’s second dam. This colt’s first dam is by Khalid Abdullah’s beautifully bred Beat Hollow, by Sadler’s Wells. Charles The Great was out of a mare by Barathea, also a son of the Sadler’s Wells. In other words we have tried hard to line up the stars again and with this beautiful colt I believe we may well have done so. I have every hope that he will be the next KVT star at Kingsclere.” Cost per share £7,250 PEDIGREE Danzig Holy Roman Danehill Razyana BAY COLT (IRE) Emperor (IRE) Secretariat L'On Vite Fanfreluche April 24th, 2018 (Third Produce) Beat Hollow Sadler's Wells Izola (GB) Wemyss Bight (2010) Pivotal Pivka Ghariba E.B.F.
