maggie's tern

This filly by BungleintheJungle was bought at the Goffs Premier Yearling Sales for £45,000.

Nick viewed all 140 fillies on offer at this sale and felt this filly was one of the best fillies on offer in the sale.

She stands around 15'3 so is slightly bigger than average for a filly of her age. She is a very good model in that she is strong and well developed and is probably the nicest Bungleinthejungle filly Nick has seen at the sales.

She is an excellent mover and is very hard to find fault with such is the regard Nick has for her.

She had banged her hock at the sales and was a shade sore on it but the swelling has all but gone on 31st August and the joint was X rayed at the sales and given the all clear.

Her sire Bungleinthejungle is a precocious source of speed siring the Group 1 Nunthorpe winner Winter Power for Tim Easterby. She is out of the mare, Khayrat who has already produced the 103 rated Mont Ras who was also trained by Roger Fell.  We expect this filly to start her racing career in late May/early June over 6 furlongs and make up into a horse who will race over trips around a mile.

She joins Roger Fell who has had a breakthrough year in 2021 with his 2yos with four 2yo winners to date each with cheaply bought yearlings. They include Eldrickjones who finished 2nd in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.
