He will then head to Hong Kong for leading owner Bon Ho to continue his career there. He was a £160,000 purchase from the Tatts Ireland Goresbridge Breeze-Up Sale.
GLOBAL WISDOM (2019 g by No Nay Never out of Shahinda) won impressively on debut for trainer Chris Dwyer. After a slow start, the penny quickly dropped and he made good progress before taking the lead in the last 100 yards and pulling clear of the field to win by one-and-a-quarter lengths. Owned by Dr Johnny Hon he was purchased privately after the Arqana Deauville Yearling Sale for €80,000.
SNOWALOT (2017 g by Camelot out of Bright Snow) was sent off the 11/5 favourite at Salisbury and did not disappoint. He travelled strongly throughout the race before drawing clear to win by over four lengths. A private purchase with Irish form analyst Philip Hackett. Congratulations to owner K K Ho and trainer James Ferguson.
Congratulations to all of the winning connections. We are looking forward to the upcoming yearling sales. Please get in touch if we can be of any help.
