Duke Of Firenze Wins In Great Style . . .
We were thrilled to see DUKE OF FIRENZE win so cosily under Martin Harley in the last big turf sprint Handicap of the season at Catterick Bridge on Saturday . . . He travelled beautifully throughout on this tricky track and on very soft conditions under foot. He cruised in to the lead with a furlong to go and drew away from the field very nicely . . . He had a set back earlier in the season which delayed his début for us by some margin. Had he not have needed that time off, with the way he has been performing in his last few races he would have had a very profitable year . . . However onwards and upwards and lots to look forward to with his owner and breeders, Cheveley Park Stud for the 2015 grass season . . . It is always wonderful to have a winner in those famous Red, White and Blue colours, having already enjoyed success this season with KINGSGATE NATIVE and OASIS MIRAGE. As they now all head for a winters holiday in the paddocks, fingers crossed more to follow for them next season . . .
