Another AppleTree Bed Winner And A Group 3 Too Boot 02/11/25

AppleTree have added another home bred winner to our tally today with DR OMRAN winning the Group 3 Premio Guido E Alessandro Berardelli over 1m 1f at CAPANNELLE (ITY). The result is particularly sweet as he is a stakes winner too. We sold the Palace Pier Colt at Goffs UK Premier yearling sale last summer and this result makes AppleTrees statistics look good as well. We are now 20 AppleTree bred winners from 28 runners with 6 of these horses being black type performers. The winners also give us comfort that the farm is producing nice stock and will help future clients have confidence in the horses we offer at sales. DR OMRAN is out of AppleTrees foundation mare ASTONISHING making her 6 winners from 7 foals of racing age and we have retained 2 half sisters, Heavenly Breath (Dark Angel X Astonishing) a Group and Listed place mare with a cracking Sea The Stars foal on the ground, she is in foal to the excellent Too Darn Hot and RUMBA NUMBA (Too Darn Hot x Astonishing) an 85 rated winning filly in training with Roger Varian she looks likely to gain black type next season.
