Wasn't it was marvellous to see Diligent Resdev win on his debut at Newcastle today?
He looks a very nice prospect for next season and we think he'll be even better on grass.
It just goes to show that you don't have to pay big money to buy a winner. Our horse cost 5,500 guineas from the sales as a foal. He was one of the cheapest horses in the race today. He beat a horse called Almore who cost 360,000 euros as a yearling and Sherman Tank who cost 165,000 euros more recently as a two-year-old. Sherman Tank finished third and Altmore was fourth.
What you need to buy winners is a good eye. It's not all about how deep your pockets are.
When I look back over the last half century the best horses I've had have come cheap. I paid just £600 for Lochnager and he became Champion Sprinter. Mrs McArdy won a Classic and I bought her in a job lot of eight horses.
