    17 Mar 2022   

Ian Darcy’s homebred colt foal Westerdale St George came out top scoring full marks. He is by the eventing stallion Up with the Lark out Westerdale Queen of Hearts by the Thoroughbred Chase the Ace. The high scoring runner-up, Millbry Wuthering Heights was also by Up with the Lark out of the KWPN mare Bronte by Riverman. With thanks to our foal grading sponsor VT Vets the owner of the leading foal will receive a stud voucher to the value of £500 and the owner of the runner-up a stud voucher for £300.

Two other foals gained more than 9; Merrigan’s En Vogue by Tiger Attack out of the Charlotte Martin’s former HOYS winner Solaris Dwenqua by Quaterback, and Sally Bullens homebred grey colt Borough Tennerpenny, another out of the former leading international event mare Borough Pennyz. Tennerpenny is by Catherston Stud’s SHB(GB) graded stallion Timolin who sired four of the top 12 graded foals this year. Stallions Catherston Oakley and Gemini’s Classic Opera both sired two progeny in the top 12.
