This filly was purchased from the 2019 October Tattersalls Book 1 Sale by Nick Bradley and Mark Johnston.
GLENEAGLES has had an outstanding start to his career at stud with 3 Stakes Winners on the board from his first crop of 2yos, the same number as KINGMAN, NIGHT OF THUNDER and SHAMARDAL.
GLENEAGLES best son to date is Group 2, July Stakes winner ROYAL LYTHAM, who had enough speed to win over 6 furlongs and then progressed to finish beaten just a length in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes.
Our filly is out of CAPE COLUMBINE who won at Newmarket at 2 and went on to finish 5th in the 1,000 Guineas. To date, CAPE COLUMBINE has produced 3 winning progeny including the 98 rated KASB who was a very good 2yo for John Gosden.
Our filly is a very good model, she has plenty of size and substance to her. She is a refined and elegant mover who has a very good action and covers plenty of ground in her stride. She has excellent confirmation and her temperament seems to be very relaxed, she has reminded Nick's staff of FRANKEL’S STORM when she arrived from Book 1 this time last year.
Given her pedigree and physique we would expect her to be the type to start off as a 2yo in June or July over 6/7 furlongs and progress to running at trips around a mile.
GLENEAGLES yearling fillies averaged 235,000 Guineas at the Tattersalls Book 1 Sale and collectively were a very high standard. Our filly cost just 55,000 and we feel represents a real bargain given how athletic and fluent her action is.
She qualifies for the £10,000 Plus 10 and of course the Tattersalls £25,000 Book 1 Bonus so that means a victory in a Novice or Maiden will net her £35,000 on top of the prize money.
She has a Grade 2A scope.
