Another Tiger Ridge youngster, the filly Grey Rose, made a promising debut at Kenilworth yesterday when third first time out. She has been entered in the Listed Summer Juvenile Stakes on Met day.
Just over a week later, Tiger Ridge’s daughter Kwacha broke her maiden first time out. She is out of the Silvino mare Danara.

He has been represented by 14 stakes winners overseas including the Strike The Tiger (Windsor Castle Stakes), millionaire Leah’s Secret, and the high-class US juvenile Bashert. Strike The Tiger was the first US trained horse ever to win at Royal Ascot, when he won the Windsor Castle last year.
