This talented youngster is by the very successful speed sire Acclamation. He has had a solid juvenile season having followed up multiple feature race performances after breaking his maiden at Navan in Ireland. His latest performance was arguably his best, when only 3.5 lengths behind Twilight Jet in the Gr3 Cornwallis Stakes. This race was loaded with talented horses and his prominence to the winner and placed horses earned him a rating of 98. Twilight Jet is on his way to the Breeders Cup in the USA.
He will turn three on January 1st and therefore campaign as a sophomore at Meydan next year. Our plan is to geld the horse while he waits for transport in the UK, he will then fly over to Dubai and start his preparation for the season. Off his rating, he will feature in races like the Dubai Dash and the Dubai Sprint worth $88 000 and good performances here may see him take his place on Super Saturday or even Dubai World Cup night in the Al Quoz Sprint. We expect him to improve a few pounds with gelding and he looks set to be a horse suited to the firmer and quicker ground of the UAE. He is a really exciting prospect and to have a horse of this level at his purchase price represents great value.
