Introduction
2014 has been an exciting year for KVT and it doesn’t seem a minute ago since Nick
Robinson passed over the baton this time last year. It has been an enormously enjoyable
year both on and off the racecourse and we hope existing partners have found the new
management to their liking. From a communication point of view, we have been keen to
keep everyone as well-informed as possible including videos and photos which are now so
easy to take and send on using modern gadgets!
On the track, eight of our ten horses have run, winning seven races between them whilst
from a prize money point of view, it was our best for more than a decade. The highlight of
the season has, of course, been Tullius who has won more than £200,000 of prize money,
taking his career total to £335,000 and improving his rating to 117.
For the Partners, we have welcomed more than two dozen new partners, including
some parents of Finton House pre-prep school in London. We intend to build on this
development somewhat but are ever mindful to maintain the intimate nature and team
spirit that is the essence of KVT.
With the KVT horses, we have increased the squad from six to ten and it looks likely that we
will be running ten horses in our colours next season. All of our older horses collected prize
money and four of the five won races and, with the exception of Tullius, all will be offered
for sale this autumn. Amongst the two-year-olds, Magical Memory won a Racing Post
Yearling Bonus at Leicester and also ran promisingly at Glorious Goodwood. He is rated
87 and should make up into a smart sprint handicapper for 2015. Both Finton Friend and
Maxwell have also shaped with promise in their early starts whilst Spring Seraph is nearly
ready for his debut. Bishop’s Leap is a lovely later-maturing horse for the future.
Four new yearlings have been acquired, three colts and a filly, details of which are on
the following pages. These are destined for our existing trainers, Andrew Balding, Ralph
Beckett, Richard Hannon and Charles Hills, all of whom feature in the industry top twenty
at the time of going to print. In addition to our Annual Parade and Lunch for partners at
Ardington, these yearlings will also be shown to potential partners at Newbury racecourse,
before racing on Saturday 25th October. As usual shares will be sold on a first come first
served basis.
The 2014 flat season was noteworthy on many fronts. The exploits of Kingman will live
long in the memory; Tiggy Wiggy was one of the most outstanding two-year-old fillies
we have seen for a long time, whilst Treve’s runaway victory in the Arc De Triomphe was
simply sublime. For 2015, the Racing Post Yearling Bonus will be replaced by the new
Plus10 bonus system which will enable owners to win multiple bonuses in certain maiden,
conditions and handicap races. KVT will be targeting these next summer.
In conclusion, to our inherited partners, many of whom have been KVT stalwarts for so
many years, we say a big “thank you” for making us so welcome and for your continued
support; to our new partners we hope you are enjoying the experience; and to our
prospective partners we say “come aboard... the natives are friendly!”

The Dark Angel Partnership
LOT 98
Dark Angel, the proven Group One producer and top class two-year-old
sprinter has made an outstanding start to his stallion career. Already the
sire of 25 stakes performers, which includes seven Group and five listed
winners, this son of Acclamation is the sire of dual-Group One winner
Lethal Force (who broke the track record when winning the July Cup) and
his excellent record as a sire of two-year-olds is well-illustrated through the
Group Two-winning two-year-olds Alhebayeb and Estidhkaar. He also
has the notable distinction in having sired a dual Cambridgeshire winner
in Bronze Angel. He stood at stud in Ireland this year for a fee of €27,500.
This filly’s dam, Timbre, by Dubai Destination, is an unraced daughter of
Sheikh Mohammed’s former top-class two-year-old filly Calando (May
Hill Stakes) who also went on to finish third in the French 1,000 Guineas. It
is the immediate family of the multiple black type performers Champlain
(Chesham Stakes) and Diminuendo, the 1988 European Champion threeyear-old filly.
Luke Lillingston bought this filly and commented: “She is neat, strong, fastlooking, and beautiful. Her great grandam was the aptly-named and brilliant
Diminuendo who, despite being a small filly (an attribute that is shared by
many horses in this pedigree), was one of the late Sir Henry Cecil’s great
champion fillies. Her sire Dark Angel is now well established as one of Europe’s
leading sires and indeed Richard Hannon trains his current highest rated twoyear-old, the dual group winning Estidhkaar. Further high-class two-year-old
form is to be found in this filly’s grandam who won the prestigious May Hill
stakes at Doncaster and was second in the fillies mile at Ascot. She drew many
compliments at the sale in Fairyhouse and is a very exciting prospect. She is
eligible for the €200,000 Tattersalls Ireland Sales Race at The Curragh next
September and also qualified for the new lucrative Plus 10 Scheme.”
This filly will be trained by Richard Hannon and will be a 16 Share
Partnership @ £6,995 per share with the first payment due on signing of
£4,695 and the balance of £2,300 due by 31st March 2015.
The cost of a share includes all charges, including management charges,
through to the end of October 2015. Assuming the horse is trained for a
further year, we would estimate that the cost per share would be a maximum
of £955, payable 1st November 2015, and £2,630 payable 1st April 2016 (to
include the management fee) with a further £540 payable 1st August 2016 in
the event that the horse has failed to win any prize money.

The Le Havre Partnership
The colt is by the exciting young stallion Le Havre, who won the Prix Du
Jockey-Club (French Derby) and has enjoyed a fine start to his career as a
stallion, most notably through this year’s dual classic-winning filly Avenir
Certain who is one of his first crop of runners.
Dark Angel / Timbre filly
His dam Como, by Cozzene, (often a good source of speed), was trained
by Roger Charlton for Prince Khalid Abdullah and was rated a very
respectable 87. At stud, she has already produced four winners from six
runners including the Listed-winning two-year-old Pencil Hill (also fourth
to Henrythenavigator in the Group Two Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot).
He hails from the immediate family of this year’s Champion Sprinter, Sole
Power.
Being ‘French-bred’, this colt is qualified for the lucrative French Owners
Premiums (i.e. he would win 64% extra prize money on top of the standard
amount), should he run in France - something we will certainly consider
at some stage.
Geoffrey Howson purchased the colt and commented: “We shortlisted
this colt following our initial inspection and we think he has a sharp, racy
physique and will hopefully prove to be a hard-knocking individual. The
colt came highly-recommended by Paul Thorman of Trickledown Stud, the
consignor.”
This colt will be trained by Charles Hills and will be a 16 Share Partnership
@ £7,680 per share with the first payment due on signing of £5,380 and the
balance of £2,300 due by 31st March 2015.
The cost of a share includes all charges, including management charges,
through to the end of October 2015. Assuming the horse is trained for a
further year, we would estimate that the cost per share would be a maximum
of £955, payable 1st November 2015, and £2,630 payable 1st April 2016 (to
include the management fee) with a further £540 payable 1st August 2016 in
the event that the horse has failed to win any prize money.

The Makfi Partnership
Consigned by Yeomanstown Stud
281
Makfi’s rise to the top is an interesting story, in that he was bred by Sheikh
Hamdan Al Maktoum and was in training in the UK but he didn’t set the
world alight at home and the decision was made that he should go to the
sales as an unraced two-year-old. He made 26,000 guineas and just a month
later made a winning debut at Fontainebleau in France for his new trainer
Mikel Delzangles. The next season he went on to take the 2,000 Guineas at
Newmarket and the Jacques Le Marois at Deauville, which led to him being
crowned Champion Miler in Europe.
Makfi has enjoyed a good start to stud with his first two-year-olds including
winners as far away as Japan and the US and boasts an impressive winners
to runners percentage so far. They should progress well with age.
This colt’s dam, High Life, is only young but has already produced the
exciting three-year-old of this year Azurite (winner of three races to date,
including at two-years-old, and currently rated 95). High Life is a halfsister of Gimcrack Stakes winner Bannister as well as to the dam of Middle
Park winner Astaire and Prix Morny runner-up Gallagher.
Luke Lillingston’s bought this colt and commented: “This colt comes from
the second crop of the 2,000 Guineas winner Makfi. For a horse that didn’t
make his debut until November of his two-year-old career, Makfi has made
a promising start and at the time of going to press is the leading first season
sire by percentage of winners to runners. This colt is strong and imposing
and his pedigree is littered with high class two-year-old performances - race
names such as the Gimcrack, Richmond, Morny, Middle Park, Lowther and
Cheveley Park having been won or placed in by some of his close relations.”
This colt will be trained by Ralph Beckett and will be a 16 Share Partnership
@ £6,790 per share with the first payment due on signing of £4,490 and the
balance of £2,300 due by 31st March 2015.
The cost of a share includes all charges, including management charges,
through to the end of October 2015. Assuming the horse is trained for a
further year, we would estimate that the cost per share would be a maximum
of £955, payable 1st November 2015, and £2,630 payable 1st April 2016 (to
include the management fee) with a further £540 payable 1st August 2016 in
the event that the horse has failed to win any prize money.

The Rock of Gibraltar Partnership
Rock of Gibraltar, a son of the imperious Danehill, needs little introduction.
The multiple Group One winner at two and three for Aidan O’Brien, in the
colours of Sir Alex Ferguson, was an outstanding racehorse. He was the first
ever horse to win seven consecutive Group One’s in the Northern Hemisphere.
Now standing at Coolmore Stud he has sired 58 Group winners, including
eleven Group One winners. His best progeny include Eagle Mountain, Mount
Nelson and Society Rock.
Makfi / High Lite colt
This colt’s dam, Izzy Lou, by Spinning World, has produced one winner from
one runner to date, in the shape of Juan Alonso, a full-brother to our colt, who
won twice as a two-year-old before being sold to Hong Kong for £115,000. Izzy
Lou was placed twice at three and is the half-sister to the high-class two-yearold Missit, who has won in the UK, Canada and the USA and took the Group
Two Providencia Stakes at Santa Anita, having been runner-up in the Rockfel
as a juvenile in the UK for Mick Channon. Izzy Lou is also a half-sister to the
useful Rockalong (also by Rock of Gibraltar), a three-time winner for Luca
Cumani.
Luke Lillingston bought this colt and commented: “This colt is an all bay,
attractive and chunky, rather in the same mould as his famous father Rock of
Gibraltar. His only sibling the full brother Juan Alonso won twice for team Hannon
as a two-year-old last year before being sold abroad for £115,000 at the end of last
season. There are two other successful Rock of Gibraltar runners in this family, most
notably the multiple group winning Gibraltar Blue and also the 95 rated Rockalong
who sold for £160,000 last year to race in Australia. Andrew Balding was delighted
when he heard he would train him as he has great luck with other progeny of ‘The
Rock’. He has only trained three by the sire to date (Signposted, Soviet Rock and
Nabatean) and they have all been highly-rated. There is good reason to be hopeful
that this colt can be another one.”
This colt will be trained by Andrew Balding and will be a 16 Share Partnership
@ £6,855 per share with the first payment due on signing of £4,555 and the
balance of £2,300 due by 31st March 2015.
