Snowdrops (click on her name to see the full story of her racing career) grey mare 2000 by Gulch out of Roses In The Snow (Try My Best). Snowdrops won ten races for us in America, including three Gr.3s. She is at Templeton Stud with a yearling colt by Red Ransom and is covered by Dansili.

 

Tokyo Rose 2004 bay mare by Agnes World out of Wildwood Flower (Distant Relative)) We sold this filly as yearling. She was the size of a pony then and everyone said we had done well to get that for her. She was re-offered at the Tattersalls Breeze Up Sale and didn't attract a bid at Gns14,000. We thought she breezed well enough and had the action (scratchy) and physical appearance (short legs big backside) of Wildwood Flower. So we decided to buy her back and send her to Richard Hannon. She's grown a fair bit but will always be  judged too small to breed from and although Wildwood has produced four winners from four foals none of them have been Stakes performers. Two very good reasons to leave well alone but we knew that Wildwood was not going to be with us much longer as laminitis took its toll so the decision to buy her back was not strictly commercial.
She was placed twice in three runs and looked like a good prospect but cracked her pelvis leading up to her last start so we retired her and she is in foal to Bahamian Bounty.
