Seasonal finale for Highflyer Bloodstock
Sanctuaire’s impressive pillar-to-post victory in Sandown’s Grade 2 Celebration Chase took Highflyer’s seasonal tally of graded/listed winners to a record high of 68 races, which have been won by 46 different horses. It was also very interesting to see Highflyer’s buys winning both the People’s Awards at Sandown – Big Buck’s as Horse of the Year and Kauto Star’s 5th King George VI Chase victory as Performance of the Season.

Grand National Winner...again
For the second successive year a Highflyer-sourced horse won the world's most famous race. Neptune Collonges who had already had a very illustrious record for the Hales family, signed off his glittering career with a gallant victory by a nose in the Grand National to take his earnings past £1.2 million.
Red Hot Aintree
The final day of the Aintree Festival saw more winners for the Highflyer Team taking their haul for the meeting to seven, a third of all the races run. Sprinter Sacre led a 1-2 in the Grade 1 novice chase and The New One did the same for Highflyer in the Champion bumper. With three Grade 1 winners on the first two days in the shape of Silvianico Conti, Big Buck’s and Grumeti as well as impressive Red Rum Chase winner Edgardo Sol, Highflyer's tally of Graded/Listed wins in the season now stands at 62 – a new record for the firm.

Cheltenham Summary
Highflyer had another cracking Festival with 5 winners including 4 at Grade 1 level as well as a total of 25 horses earning prizemoney for their owners. Big Buck’s 4th World Hurdle victory was a particular highlight but it was no mean achievement buying the 1-2-3 in the Ryanair Chase and the future looks bright with the Grade 1 novice chase winning pair of Sprinter Sacre and Bobs Worth also under the umbrella.

Record breaking Day 3
