“it’s very important, isn’t it, where they come from…particularly coming from a home like that you know that horses are going to be well cared for”
We caught up with @Racing110 and @KateHarro1989 of Alpha Racing to hear about their Group 1-winning daughter of Calyx, Barnavara, who sold for 4,800,000gns @tattersalls1766 Sceptre Sessions in December.
Barnavara was bred by Mr Andriy Milovanov & V Tymoshenko, and was raised and grazed at Castlehyde Stud.
#Coolmore #HomeOfChampions
What a result for the connections of Barnavara. Delighted to have played a part in this special filly’s story, having broken her here at Castleroe. Looking forward to seeing what comes next 🐎 #Toplot#Broken
🗣️ “You never know why these things happen. But when they do, you just make sure you enjoy the hell out of them.”
G1 Prix de l'Opera winner Barnavara has kept the fairytale alive for 90-year-old Russell Jones, a longtime horseman and lifelong fan.
