A COUPLE of juvenile stakes winners who provided significant catalogue updates for the forthcoming yearling sales were Acklam Express and Fev Rover.

Bred by Robert Ryan, Acklam Express is one of the quartet of stakes winners for first season sire Mehmas (Acclamation). Sold to Jamie Piggott and Nigel Tinkler as a yearling at the Goffs Sportsman’s Sale last year, he has now won three of his four starts, notching an all-important win in the Listed Roses Stakes at York. This was good news for his breeder who has the task of kicking off the Tattersalls Ireland September Yearling Sale, now to be staged at Newmarket, with his Galileo Gold (Paco Boy) half-brother.
