This week we have purchased privately from the successful breeder/owner of Dorrington Farm this stunning colt by Wootton Bassett for $350k.
Wootton Bassett stands at the global organisation in Coolmore Stud and was an unbeaten French Champion as a 2YO winning all of his 5 races.
Culminating his 2YO career with a 2½ length victory in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere-Gr.1 –

Wootton Bassett commenced stud duties in the Northern Hemisphere in 2012. In what is quite a remarkable stud career, he has already produced three Group 1 winners, and they have all been from either €4,000 or €6,000 nominations. They are:
- European Champion Almanzor
- 2020 Breeders’ Cup winner Audarya
- 2020 Gr.1-winning three-year-old sprinter Wooded
2020 also saw him sire the likes of the Gr.2-winning two-year-old Chindit and Gr.2-winning miler Tamahere.
He is upgrading his mares to such an extent that his 2021 fee in Ireland was €100,000. In 2025, his fee will be €300,000!!
From simple beginnings to royalty, one might say!
This season alone in the Northern Hemisphere, his 2YO stats stand as the following:
- 13 two-year-old Stakes Winners
- 10 two-year-old Group Winners
- 4 two-year-old Group One Winners
What do all of the above have in common?? They are all colts!
His oldest progeny in Australia are now 2YO’s, and they are starting to commence their racing careers. Already, he has had some impressive colts race, including:
- West Of Swindon – equal favourite for the Golden Slipper
- Wiltshire Square – placed 2nd on debut in the Listed Merson Cooper
- Wodeton – the other equal favourite for the Golden Slipper
Out of the dam My Sabeel, she is a daughter of Savabeel, a consistent black type performer she has won just under $379k on the track. The dam of 3 foals to race all have been winners.
This colt is now spelling at Dorrington Farm and is scheduled to commence his education on February 7.
The colt will be paid up for all the VOBIS bonuses.
Purchase of this horse includes bloodstock, 12 months mortality insurance, pre sale vetting (x-rays & scope) photos, & video, agistment until February 7and GST.
