Bonaventure

*Purchased from Goffs UK Doncaster Breeze Up Sale*
The sale that has produced seven Royal Ascot winners in seven years, including last year’s winners BRADSELL and PERFECT POWER.

 

We were delighted with our purchase of this colt, securing him at huge value for money at 23,000 GNS. He is compact, powerful and masculine, with a mature mind. He breezed smartly, displaying a great action and neat head carriage, and we feel he will have lots of potential over 6-7f. He looks the perfect type to go into training with Stuart Williams, who excels with these speedy, robust models. 

“We got him at remarkably good value… At 23,000 GNS I’d buy him myself.” - RICHARD RYAN

Pedigree

His dam is a half-sister to NAVAJO CHIEF, eight-time winner including two Listed wins, and is a daughter of CHARM SPIRIT, a high-class 7f horse at two and multiple Group 1-winner at three. CHARM SPIRIT defeated TORONADO and NIGHT OF THUNDER in the Group 1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, before going on to beat the latter again in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot.

First season sire LAND FORCE looks an exciting prospect as the son of NO NAY NEVER, crossed with a Group-winning mare from the outstanding family of CASSANDRA GO. His classy pedigree shone through to his own performance on the track, where he was a very precocious two-year-old, winning the Group 2 Richmond Stakes and placing in the Norfolk Stakes. Looking the perfect two-year-old type, we are very optimistic about our colt following in his sire’s footsteps!
