19th August

CASPAR NETSCHER (Dutch Art x Bella Cantata) ran out a comfortable winner of the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York today with the Breeders Cup being talked about as a possible last race of the season.  He has now won two races and been placed in  his other five (including 4 Stakes races) and earnt over £100,000.  Not bad for a horse sold at last year's October Book 2 yearlings for only 25,000 guineas.

His unraced dam could have been picked up last year for only 22,000 guineas.  Meon Valley retained her winning sister, Siren Sound, however, and her first foal, a February colt by Rock of Gibraltar, is offered as Lot 1090 in Book 2 this year.
