Friday 26 September

When things are going right then they certainly go right!! This afternoon the Sir Michael Stoute trained filly Crystal Capella won her second listed contest of the season when taking the Princess Royal Stakes at Ascot. Another victory for Mrs Robeson who bred the filly at her family's Southcourt Stud near Leighton Buzzard. For the past few years the stud has had considerable success with Notnowcato,a multiple Group 1 winner who now stands at Plantation Stud, so it is fantastic for Mrs Robeson, her brother and all the staff at Southcourt to have another top class performer.Most importantly this one is a filly, so hopefully this very talented family will continue to produce winners at the stud for many years to come.
