Whitecliffsofdover X ajab bere

This filly was purchased by Nick Bradley from Arqana V2 on the 17th August for 22,000 Euros.  

Nick had had a fruitless first three days of the sale with him progressively getting closer to buying our first yearling of the 2021 sales. By the fourth day of the sales alot of the agents and larger buyers had left town and it presented a far better opportunity for Nick to get involved.

Nick viewed all of the fillies at the sale and ended up with a shortlist of 16 fillies for the final day. 

This filly stood out as being a very good model, with a great shape and an excellent action. Physically Nick felt there was plenty of improvement to come in this filly as she was under prepped for the sale. That said, she was a strong filly with a good hip, and excellent drive from her hind quarters.

Nick loves to buy the best fillies by unfashionable stallions as it offers investors the opportunity to access the best racehorses at a lower price. Mystery Angel (Kodi Bear), Fev Rover (Gutaifan), Dandalla (Dandy Man), Honey Sweet (Adaay), and Little Kim (Garswood) are all examples of success Nick Bradley Racing have had using this angle.

Whitecliffsofdover is a son of War Front who was solid but not spectacular on the track with his highlight probably being his third place finish in the Jean Luc Lagadere. He has had 2yos run on the track in 2021 who have ran with credit. Looking at the dam 'Ajab Bere' she is already the dam of two 2yo winners, including the unbeaten Juste Bere who is 3 from 3 at the time of writing.

Karl and Kelly Burke both liked what they saw in this filly and were very keen to train her for Nick Bradley Racing. Karl is an excellent trainer of 2yos in Nick's eyes and they have teamed up with Dandalla, Little Kim, Honey Sweet, Guilded and Fast Response to name just a handful of Group class 2yo fillies they have teamed up with.

We expect this filly to start over 6 furlongs in May and progress to be a 7 to 8 furlong filly by the end of the season.
