WINNING a Class E fillies’ handicap at Wolverhampton was the pinnacle of Eoz’s racing career, far from the dizzy heights expected when the daughter of Sadler’s Wells (Northern Dancer) was sold as a yearling at Goffs in 2001 for £500,000. In nine starts, and with four placed efforts, she earned just about £7,600!

As a seven-year-old, and carrying a filly by Dubai Destination (Kingmambo), her value had dropped to 25,000gns when Stephen Hillen snapped her up. Her first two foals had not won at the time – they did subsequently – and the purchase now looks inspired as she is the dam of five winners and a couple of placed horses, while she has a number of young stock who could add further to her record in time.
