With John Warren unable to attend the sale in France, Peter Doyle (who buys all of Richard Hannon's horses) bought this lovely filly on behalf of Highclere at the recent Arqana St Cloud sale. Peter was very excited about this filly who had breezed particularly well and she really is the most lovely individual who has plenty of size and strength about her. She also has a good pedigree being out of the winning Gone West mare, Lady Salsa, whose mother, Chicarica, won the Chesham Stakes (Listed) at Royal Ascot as well as the Cherry Hinton Stakes (Gr 3) at the July Meeting. Cape Cross, is one of the leading stallions standing at stud in Europe and is responsible for last year’s great racehorse, Sea the Stars, as well as Ouija Board and many others.

Richard Fahey will train Abdicate and she should be ready to make her debut sometime in August, although she also has the size and scope to develop into an exciting prospect for next season.
