MANTON THOROUGHBREDS IX On behalf of Brian and myself I would like to thank you for taking the time to read through our brochure that details our 9th Manton Thoroughbreds syndicate for season 2024. As you will read Brian and I have carefully selected six yearling colts that have joined or will soon join Brian and his team at the world famous Manton Estate, the state of the art private training facility. We aim to select a diverse team of horses that each possess different unique attributes, from two year old speed to middle distance stamina. Off the back of winning the inaugural introduction of the Arqana Race Series in August this year with Mirador, a €35,000 purchase winning a €200,000 race for owner Martin Hughes on his first start we have again returned to source selecting what we believe are two exceptional colts in the Holy Roman Emperor and the Hello Youmzain both qualified for next years races in Deauville.
Buying from Book 1 is no easy feat with our budget and the Bated Breath colt is a very exciting addition bought for 42,000gns, he will qualify for their £25,000 bonus. We take great pride in our hospitality, communication and putting people together within the syndicate throughout the season and would welcome anyone new or experienced to join us. With six colts there is plenty of racing to be had and we very much look forward to enjoying the thrill of racehorse ownership with you. Our very best,
Sam Sangster
