VILLAZON
This handsome son of Cracksman is our latest purchase. We bought him out of a HIT sale in August and he's certainly an intriguing character.
His Dam (Perfect Note) was a winner at a mile and was also a half sister to the precocious, Claremont. The Granddam was a multiple Group 1 winner over middle distances as well. Perfect Note’s prior progeny have so far recorded five wins between them and as you'd expect, four of those wins came over distances in excess of 1m 4f. Furthermore, two of the Dam’s progeny (Romance Story & Strathspey) have already had success as Broodmares themselves. Romance Story has a three year old filly called Robinie, who is of particular interest, as she is also by Cracksman. She recorded her first win in June of this year in a handicap at Saint Cloud over 1m 6f.
To date Villazon has had just one run in his career and that came for John Gosden in a maiden at Windsor over 1m 2f (soft ground). He was slowly away that day but warmed to the task, finishing 3rd despite showing clear signs of greenness. He was awarded an RPR of 73 (OR 66). The form of that race is yet to really be tested but the winner (Circuit Breaker) sold for £260,000 back in October to Jonjo O'Neill having progressed to a mark of 89 on the flat.
Obviously, it is still early days for Villa but he's showing us all the right signs at home now and our plan will be to get him a handicap in the coming months and then look to progress up the ranks as he steps up in trip. There's also the potential option for him to go hurdling at some point in the future, as he has plenty of size, will stay all day and has the required constitution.
