KITTY Cowhey’s Loughmore Stables has a lovely yearling colt by Champs Elysees going to the Tattersalls Ireland September Sale next month, catalogued at Lot 281. Kitty expects him to sell well, but has even more reason to do so following the victory of Eirene in the Listed St Hugh’s Stakes recently. The win was a late present, gained a day after Kitty celebrated her birthday.

Eirene is a daughter of Declaration Of War (War Front). She sold for 85,000gns as a yearling and is the second stakes winner in the first crop of juveniles by that winner of both the Group 1 Juddmonte International and Queen Anne Stakes. She was beaten to that honour by the Group 3 winner and Group 1 placed filly Actress.
