WAVERTREE BOUNTY

(2007 b. f. by Pastoral Pursuits ex Grecian Halo)

Wavertree Bounty is a daughter of the leading first-season sire PASTORAL PURSUITS out of 3yo winner GRECIAN HALO from an American family. Wavertree Bounty was consigned to the 2008 Tattersalls October yearling sales at Newmarket by Ash Tree Farm near Daventry, Northants, and she was purchased by Wavertree Racing for 6,500 guineas. PASTORAL PURSUITS (b. 2003 by BAHAMIAN BOUNTY ex STAR) PASTORAL PURSUITS is top first-season sire, he tops the table with an incredible 41% of winners to runners with a ratio of 9 – 22 and he has had 11 wins from 71 runs totalling almost £70,000 in prizemoney, (as at 16 July 09). PASTORAL PURSUITS, the most successful son of Bahamian Bounty, stands alongside his sire at The National Stud in Newmarket where he covered 98 mares in his first season.

PASTORAL PURSUITS race record is as follows: Won 6 races from 10 starts and £264,486. Second of 20 on his debut at Windsor he then went on to win all his following three races at two including Sirenia Stakes, Kempton Park, Gr.3. He then won twice at three including Park Stakes, Doncaster. Gr.2, At four he was top rated older sprinter in England and Europe and won the Darley July Cup, Newmarket, Gr.1.

Peter Doyle, leading bloodstock agent, said in the Racing Post: “I’ve bought a few yearlings by Pastoral Pursuits, as well as the top-priced foal by him, and I am very happy with them all. They are very taking individuals in the sale ring, and the two-year-olds are very sharp, precocious sorts who have been working well for Richard Hannon.” As well as being popular with Richard Hannon the progeny of Pastoral Pursuits are in training with a lot of top trainers including John Gosden, Mick Channon and Richard Fahey.

After an initial period of quarantine on the outskirts of Newmarket after leaving the sales Wavertree Bounty went into training with Chris Wall at Induna Stables, Fordham Road, Newmarket. She has settled in really well and other than having a minor set back with a virus in the early part of the year she has progressed steadily. She has taken all in her stride, done everything asked of her and has shown a very positive attitude throughout.

Shares cost £1,000 each and it is hoped to be able to run the partnership 'all in' for a year.
