Bit of a coincidence as I was going to highlight Gregory on the Golden Horn thread. Probably not everyone's first choice of a stallion, but good luck to her.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31693053/philippa-cooper?post_id=563173119#563173119You dug this thread out Sageform.

She only races the fillies doesn't she? 15% win ratio in the last 5 years is pretty good when they tend to chase black type once they have won a maiden.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31693053/philippa-cooper?post_id=560595993#560595993Surely both.

If you breed middle distance horses to race and don't use the likes of G or STS then it is likely that you will be racing against better horses moshttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31693053/philippa-cooper?post_id=560592111#560592111I think she is struggling to decide whether she want's to be an owner breeder or a commercial breeder.

If Coolmore had bred him and raced him he would be.

Personally I think she might be better using a young really well bred NH sire like Dartmouth, not that I know ihttps://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/31693053/philippa-cooper?post_id=560588415#560588415I admire her aims counter to the modern trend, but doubt Newsells Park will be delighted to hear that the sire of Enable is borderline NH.
