Three Weeks Moves To Dubai To Be Trained By Doug Watson 08/11/19

It seems a poignant day to announce that Three Weeks (Tapit x Midnight Thoughts) will be trained by Doug Watson in Dubai, after such an amazing performance at Meydan by the trainer. 6 winners from six runners with 5 of them ridden by Pat Dobbs and 1 winner ridden by Dane O’Neil. It was on the advice of Dave O’Meara a few weeks ago that we take the horse out there to be trained by Doug Watson as he is very surface dependent, also the decent prize money was a factor. It is clear that Three Weeks is a better horse round the likes of Southwell  and being rated 90 (a High of 93) there just aren’t the races for him in the UK. The plan is to run him on the dirt and see how far he can go, maybe even obtain some Black Type for our foundation mare Midnight Thoughts. Three Weeks is the first horse to be trained abroad for AppleTree Stud so it is very exciting prospect and hopefully a few trips to Dubai will be on the cards.
