14th August 2006

He rates above the likes of Rock of Gibraltar, Kyllachy and Johannesburg, whilst the two stallions ranked higher than him in Europe covered over twice the number of mares.

Royal Ascot Group 2 Coventry Stakes winner and Group 1 Phoenix Stakes second, Hellvelyn, is the leading earner, with several other two-year-olds also making their mark. Ishi Adiva stayed on strongly to come second in the 5f Weatherbys Super Sprint and take home £30,000.

Another Tweenhills Racing horse, Holdin Foldin, also came second at the weekend, in a Conditions Stakes at Ripon. Trainer, Karl Burke, said the ground and the undulations on the track were not in his favour.

Both are proving excellent value with Vale of Belvior purchased for 20,000gns and Holdin Foldin for only €16,000 by David.

Sleeping Indian To Stand At Tweenhills

14th September 2006

Hungerford Stakes winner SLEEPING INDIAN - who is set to contest Friday's Dubai Duty Free Cup at Newbury en route to a tilt at the Group 1 Prix de la Foret - is to retire at the end of this year to take up stallion duties at Tweenhills Farm and Stud.

The son of Indian Ridge will be leased back to his owner-breeder George Strawbridge for the remainder of his racing career.

Trained by John Gosden, Sleeping Indian won a Windsor maiden by six lengths on his debut and went on to Listed successes in the Ben Marshall Stakes at Newmarket and the John Of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock, where those beaten included Quito and Welsh Emperor.

After finishing a good fifth in last season's Group 1 Sussex Stakes at Goodwood, he impressively won the Hungerford Stakes at Newbury, which was upgraded to Group 2 status this year after Sleeping Indian's victory when he beat a high-class field including Majors Cast, multiple Group-1 winner Attraction and Nayyir.

He narrowly went down in a photo to Iffraaj in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster, when three lengths clear of subsequent Group 1 winner Court Masterpiece, and - after fifth place in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes - rounded last year off with an excellent second in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes at Newmarket. At the end of the 2005 season, he was rated 122 by Timeform, who described him as a "strong, good-topped colt and a very smart performer."

Sleeping Indian's sire Indian Ridge has some exciting sons at stud, including Namid, Compton Place and Domedriver while his Group 1-placed dam Las Flores has produced four stakes winners.

Sleeping Indian is being targeted at the Group 1 Prix de la Foret at Longchamp on September 30 and trainer John Gosden said today: "From the moment Sleeping Indian arrived in the yard he looked top-class. He is a correct, powerful horse with a fabulous temperament and his target is the Group 1 Prix de la Foret before an exciting stud career beckons."

David Redvers added: "We are thrilled to have acquired Sleeping Indian. He's the complete package - stunning to look at, he boasts a superb pedigree and has consistently shown an outstanding level of form."

A maximum of 20 shares will be sold in Sleeping Indian and a fee has yet to be set. He will join a Tweenhills stallion roster in 2007 that also includes Ishiguru, Trade Fair, Lucky Story and Fraam.

Sleeping Indian Wins The Dubai Duty Free Cup

15th September 2006

SLEEPING INDIAN proved a shrewd stallion purchase for Tweenhills when holding on to take the Listed Dubai Duty Free Cup over 7f at Newbury today.

Holdin Foldin Gains Valuable Black-type

15th September 2006

HOLDIN FOLDIN finished second in the 5f Listed Harry Rosebery Stakes today at Ayr for the Tweenhills Racing syndicate. He led well into the last furlong to only be collared by the winner, Alzerra, in the final half furlong.

Trainer Karl Burke was thrilled with the performance and thought that he was right back to his best after his disappointing runs at York and Ripon. “It was the draw that got him beat” Karl said.

Holdin Foldin also looked fantastic before the race and this was a smart performance as he had to use a lot of speed to get across to the rail, in ground that is not his perfect surface. A realy value buy by David at only €16,000 from Tattersalls (Ireland) Yealing Sale last year.

24th September 2007

The Ralph Beckett and David Redvers partnership scored a notable double at Newmarket on Saturday with their two-year-olds.

The 30,000gns purchase by David from Tattersalls October Yearling Sales, RED RUMOUR impressively won the 6f Maiden. Later in the card, FR DOMINIC, scored on his debut in the 7f Maiden for trainer Ralph Beckett. He was purchased by David from the Tattersalls Breeze-Up for 50,000gns.

Both look promising three-year-olds in the making.

Winning Hat Trick For Mr Keppel

23rd September 2007

The highly progressive, MR KEPPEL, made it a winning hat trick when comfortably taking the valuable Usk Valley Stud Nursery over 6f at Newbury on 22nd September. He now heads for the Redcar Trophy or York's Rockingham Stakes.

This two-year-old Royal Applause colt was purchased for 85,000gns from Tattersalls October Sale. He is one of several promising two-year-olds purchased as yearlings by David for trainer Jamie Osborne.

Dubai Princess Sparkles

26th September 2007

The two-year-old filly, DUBAI PRINCESS, made a sparkling return to action when comfortably beating her rivals in the Novice Stakes over 6f at Folkestone yesterday for trainer Jamie Osborne. She will now be targeted at Stakes races.

This winner of the first two-year-old race of the British flat season was a mere €18,000 purchase by David from Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale. She looks a real bargain and is certainly one to follow.

Second Win For Safari

2nd October 2007

SAFARI SUNUP stayed on well to win the 1m Morell Nursery at Windsor yesterday by 2l for owner/trainer Peter Winkworth. It was the second win for this two-year-old colt by Catcher In The Rye, who was purchased by David for 36,000gns from Tattersalls October Sales.

Cute Ass And Talent

15th October 2007

CUTE ASS continues to be admirably consistent coming second in the 5f Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes at Ascot, following her fine third to Fleeting Spirit in the Group 2 Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster on 14th September, beating Dark Angel.

Previously this two-year-old filly by Fath was just beaten by a neck into second place in the 5f Listed St Hugh's Stakes at Newbury.

Cute Ass was purchased for only 26,000gns by David from Doncaster St Leger Sales so is proving a real bargain for her trainer Karl Burke and owners Bigwigs Bloodstock II.

Turn Left Shapes Into Nice Prospect

1st November 2007

TURN LEFT did well to win the 1m Maiden for two-year-olds at Nottingham yesterday having been denied a clear run until near the finish.

He was a 38,000gns purchase from Doncaster Bloodstock Breeze-Up Sales by David Redvers for trainer Ralph Beckett, and looks a very nice prospect for next year.

A Real Princess

3rd November 2007

The two-year-old filly, DUBAI PRINCESS, is another prime example of the type of horse purchased by David Redvers. She has won twice and was an unlucky second in the Listed Bosra Sham Fillies’ Stakes at Newmarket yesterday. A great bargain for trainer Jaime Osborne as she cost only €18,000 at Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale.

18th November 2007

MAFASINA made an impressive debut win in the EBF Maiden over 7f at Lingfield yesterday for trainer Christian Wroe.

Earlier in the week another two-year-old purchase by David Redvers, TEN POLE TUDOR, won the 7f Novice Stakes at Wolverhampton. He was purchased for only 20,000gns from Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.
