I`ve not heard a thing about this horse since his win in the Lingfield Derby Trial. The placed horses have done pretty well in handicaps.
Anyone in the know?
He’s apparently gone to Australia acvording to this from racingnetwork in Jan 14….
LLOYD Williams has replenished his stock of European horses in preparation for this year Melbourne spring carnival.Williams, coming off an extraordinary achievement of having six starters – five of them imports – in last year’s Melbourne Cup, has secured a team of lightly raced European stayers.Included in the new intake is Foundry, an Aidan O’Brien entrant for last year’s Melbourne Cup.Foundry, a fifth behind Leading Light in the UK St Leger and a second in the Group 2 Voltigeur Stakes, is one of four O’Brien-trained horses purchased by Williams.Others are Irish Derby Trial winner Nevis, Group 3 Enterprise winner The United States and Waxing, which raced in Ireland as The Vatican, which has won two of his three starts.Two others – Little White Cloud and Timikar, formerly raced by The Agha Khan – were trained by John Oxx.
That’s a lot of decent horses going from coolmore to Australia especially foundry and the united states. I can only assume they were offered a lot of money for them as they were two pretty exciting horses. thanks for the info.
