2yo SOLAR SWING got off the mark at Wolverhampton, adding another two-year-old winner to the STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK pinhooking graduates. Trained by George Boughey for Teme Valley Racing, he was partnered by Billy Loughnane. Having settled behind the leaders, he took command over a furlong from home and stayed on well to beat Wilbur by three-quarters of a length over a mile and 142 yards.
Bred by Brian Canning and Tom Kelly, the son of STARMAN out of Teeline was purchased as a foal at the Goffs November Foal Sale by STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK and raised at their farm at SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN before being sold through their consignment at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.
Following these youngsters from their purchase as foals through their development on to success on the racecourse is always particularly rewarding. SOLAR SWING’s victory provides another pleasing result for our pinhooking programme and the team who helped give him his start.
Congratulations to Teme Valley Racing, George Boughey and his team, and Billy Loughnane.
