WHY WE BOUGHT THIS HORSE
Lake Maracaibo went unsold at 240,000 gns at the 2025 Tattersalls Book 1 Sale.
We sourced her privately afterwards.
WHY
TBC
James Horton spent seven years as assistant to Sir Michael Stoute. During that period, 73% of Stoute’s two-year-olds were given just one or two runs, compared to an industry average of 40%. That approach produced horses like Crystal Ocean, Desert Crown, Ulysses, Bay Bridge, and Mustashry — all Group 1 winners that improved with age.
WHAT THE MARKET MISSED
The data supported a valuation well above the sale price, but the horse was overlooked because it couldn’t be properly shown. That created the opportunity.
That’s the type of situation we look for — where price and underlying quality come apart for reasons that don’t affect long-term outcomes.
She has recently entered training. We’ll update this as she progresses.
KEY FACTS
Purchased: Private post Tattersalls Book 1
Foaling Date: May
WHAT THIS REPRESENTS
She was also a late May foal from a family that improves with time. Physically, she was always going to be behind more forward types at the sale, which made her easier to pass over in that environment.
