money, together with free entry to the DBS January Sale. Additionally, the champion and reserve also collected £800 and £400 respectively. Saracen Horse Feeds generously gave bags of feed to all winners and presented a jacket to the overall Champion. A lovely Kapgarde filly out of Doubly Guest took the honours in Class 2 (filly born on or before April 14). Doug Procter, General Manager and co-owner of The Glanvilles Stud, which showed the filly, was thrilled with the win and what it offers in terms of opportunity, saying: “We’ve had three gorgeous National Hunt foals this year and all are fillies, which is always a bit depressing as you know that they’re not going to sell as well. “That’s what for me is particularly good about this show, it gives you a way of showing off your nice fillies. As a rule we sell fillies as three-year-olds as the market for filly foals is not strong, but this filly will certainly be considered for the DBS sale.” Class 3 (colts born after April 15) went to a son of Kayf Tara out of Aiden Murphy’s homebred Invincible Spirit mare Miss Invincible, who has produced a bumperwinning full-brother in Officer Cadet. The win reinforced the objective of the show for Murphy, who won the same class
two years ago. He said: “Any event that encourages breeders to have more mares at stud and produce good jumping foals is a good event.” Last year’s supreme champion winning owner Pauline Cowey came with no expectations this year, strongly believing that “lightning doesn’t strike twice”. However, after her Sulamani filly out of She Likes To Boogy scooped Class 4 (fillies born after April 15), she said: “We were coming here for a nice day out to see some friends and have a very nice lunch, and I’m absolutely amazed.” Exhibited by Thatchmire Stud, the filly was the second youngest foal shown on the day but has clearly inherited the big, scopey features of her dam and impressed the judges. With the rain falling throughout the day, all exhibitors were even more grateful for the
