EURO VALUE
Another who was a staying type and has made
a promising start is Beat Hollow.
BEAT HOLLOW, by
Sadler's Wells out of G1 Irish Oaks winner Wemyss Bight, made a
sensational start, with a Gr.3 and Listed winner, and another
group-placed. Though he was third to Sinndar in the 2000 Epsom
Derby, he was probably best at around 10 furlongs, at which
distance he won the Gr.1 Jean Prat in France, and three Gr.I
races at 9-10 furlongs in the States under Bobby Frankel's
tutelage. He's £10,000 for 2007, and probably just about full.
The Younger Crowd
There are some very interesting young stallion prospects in Europe,
and some pretty hot prospects lined up
as the beauty contests end and their first runners actually go to
the racetrack in 2007. OASIS
DREAM has always been everybody's dream play. He
was a six furlong Gr.1 winner at two; and the top sprinter in
Europe at three in 2003 (Timeform 129). He is a dead ringer for his
sire Green Desert, who proved he could be a sire of sires with Cape
Cross; and his yearlings were genuinely popular. If it all
comes off, he won't be standing for £25,000 next year, and if ever
a horse had every possible credential for sire success, it's
OASIS
DREAM.
