NEWS & TIPS

DAYDREAM EXPRESS became a stakes winner bred by AppleTree Stud yesterday when she won the Siedler & Kowalski Malermeister GmbH Hoppegartener Stuten-Meile (Listed Race) at Hoppegarten in Germany this afternoon. DAYDREAM EXPRESS was sold at Book 2 in Tattersalls October sale 2021 for 300,000gns to Blandford Bloodstock and John Gosden, she did not quite scale the heights for the Gosden team and was offered for resale when sold out to Germany. The whole family have took time and she is realizing her potential having turned 5 this year, she is already a winner of 4 races before this success we hope there is more to come.

Stradivarius x Lola Paige born 10.30pm 17/04/25

Stradivarius x Lola Paige colt arrived at AppleTree at the not so unreasonable hour of 10.30pm. Lola Paige is the perfect mother and we have high hopes for her going forward. Her first foal Lola Moon ran last weekend at Newbury in a hot maiden finishing 5th only beaten 1 & 3/4 length. Lola Paige also has a Too Darn Hot 2yo filly in training with Ralph Beckett sold by AppleTree for 600,000gns last October and a another smart Too Darn Hot filly here at home. Cooper as the colt has been named will hopefully fly the flag for his brilliant sire.
