ONE of the best sons of champion sprinter Oasis Dream, the handsome bay Charming Thought was assessed as the second best two-year-old colt in Europe in 2014, winning three times including the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes and being placed second in his only other start that season. Unfortunately he was unable to race as a three-year-old because of an injury and he has now retired to start his stud career at Dalham Hall in 2017 at the very modest fee of £8,000 with a special live foal concession.
