Inxile
|
4 wins 9 places £135,447
Inxile is a Fayruz half brother to Tax Free. He made a winning debut in a 5f maiden at Haydock beating the useful Hammadi by 3/4 of a length on his only start as a two-year-old. He won again as a three year old in a 5f Listed race in Deauville and twice at four in the Woodlands stakes (Listed) and the Naas Sprint Stakes (Listed).
Inxile has been second in the Prix du Meaurty (Group 3) and the Scurry Stakes (Listed) at Sandown. He has also been third in the Sapphire Stakes, the Audi Stakes - both Group 3 and the Prix de Saint-Georges again Group 3 (which he won but was demoated in the stewards room). He has made a good start and should be able to keep building on this.

He was then third in the Bunbury Cup before becoming our fifth winner of the Ayr Gold Cup, a race his owners have always wanted to win.
As a five year old Regal went on to perform and win at top level. He won three times at five years. He won a conditions race over 7f at York before going on to win the Listed City Plate at Chester. He was then 3rd in the Group 2 Lennox Stakes and 2nd in the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes before finishing the year by winning the Group 1 Haydock Park Sprint Cup over 6f. A tough horse who should enjoy more success at the top.
