FOLLOWING last week’s win by an American-owned gelding of the Childèric Saddles four-year-old qualifier at the Stepping Stones to Success League, this Tuesday we learned that the unnamed winner at Wexford Equestrian is owned by Germany-based Turkish international event rider Kumru Say.

The Irish Sport Horse mare by Colorit, who scored on a total of 186.7 points, was bred by Fergal Hennessy out of Lislan Cruise (by Cruising). She was one of 15 lots consigned to last year’s Monart Sale by H&J Sport Horses. “I spotted the mare in the catalogue, told Kumru about her and she came over and bought the mare herself (for €16,500),” said Tuesday’s winning rider, Cathal Daniels.
