HORSES FOR SALE
Another Folly
Castle Du Berlais x Eau Tenebreuse
Crest Racing is delighted to be offering Another Folly (stable name Herbert) for syndication in 5% shares.
He’s a 5YO gelding currently in training with the Grade One winning trainer, Jane Williams, in her idyllic yard set in the rolling hills of North Devon on the edge of Exmoor.
Jane, ably assisted by her son, Chester, who has now retired from race-riding, has an enviable record with her French-bred geldings.
He’s by the listed chase winning stallion Castle du Berlais, whose crop of 4YOs include the Grade 2 winner at Auteil, Goliath de Rheu and is currently the leader in France with his 3YO crop including a listed winner at Auteil.
His dam has had two other runners, both of whom have won. One of them, Sony Bill, was second in a listed hurdle at Auteil in June 2024.
Another Folly came second in each of his two runs in points in the Spring of 2023. In the 2023/24 season, he had four runs over hurdles, the final one in a handicap for which he was given a mark of 107.
He then ran in a Cross-Country race in France in June 2024.
He was going well and jumping exceptionally before the race was abandoned 6 furlongs out and voided because of a fallen horse.
He would almost certainly have been involved in the finish.
He will go novice/handicap chasing this season.
He’s got plenty of scope for improvement and is expected to be a different horse over fences compared with hurdles.
He should be ready to run in October and we would hope to have at least five runs out of him this season.
Plus, there is always the possibility of a return to France for a race there.
The syndication starts 1 October 2024 and terminates on 31 May 2026, but we will review in May 2025.
The inclusive cost for 20 members is £1380 each with monthly costs of £110 from 1st October 2024.
Alternatively an all-in fee to include buy in and training until 31 May 2025 is £2260.
This can be paid in two instalments of £1130 by 1st October and a further £1130 30th November.
Members will receive 5% of the prize money (less entry fees, jockey fees and trainer’s racing costs) and 5% of his sale proceeds at termination.
Stable visits will be arranged in September and March with other visits by arrangement.
Crest Of Esteem
No Nay Never x All To Do With It
Crest Of Esteem had his second run at Windsor on Saturday 3rd August finishing 5th of 7.
He ran in snatches and will appreciate a step up in trip in the longer term.
He is entered at Chelmsford for his third run on 15th August.
Crest Of Esteem ran at Doncaster in a hot 6F maiden won by the impressive Chancellor trained by John & Thady Gosden.
It was our boys first day at school and he was coltish both in the parade ring and the stalls.
Despite this he stayed on well to the line on ground that was too soft for him.
He should come on plenty for the run and has further entries, we look forward to seeing him out again soon.
He will improve even further as a three-year-old.
We have a few shares remaining in this son of No Nay Never and there is still time to become an owner prior to his next run.
