MASTEROFTHEHORSE only covered nine mares in his first year at stud and all went in foal. They produced four colts and five fillies. He covered 45 mares in his second season and this number grew again last year to nearly 50 mares.

That first crop have just turned three-year-olds and one of them is Zainat, winner over a mile and half a furlong recently at Wolverhampton. He is trained by Karl Burke for his owner/breeder Hassan Al Abdulmalik. The trainer put the improvement in form down to the three-year-old being gelded, after which he improved physically.
