The GREEK GOD double !

On February 13th, 2014, GREEK GOD gave Gainsville the much awaited win after a long gap. He won the 6 furlong AFS Talyarkhan Trophy on debut by 2 3/4 lengths with considerable ease.


Two weeks later on February 26th, 2014, GREEK GOD annihilated the opposition to win easing up by 7 1/2 lengths in the 5 furlong Bright Hanovar Trophy - a Trophy sponsored by Gautam Lala in memory of the family owned great Indian Derby winner Bright Hanovar.

That takes his tally to two wins from as many starts. Greek God is trained by Dallas Todywalla, bred at Ruia Stud and was ridden by A.Sandesh on both days.

New for racing !

We said we were excited about this. And right we were.

Our mare Starynessey was sent to Oath on retirement. It was a mating planned by Gautam Lala. We, in our article on May 25, 2008 (http://gainsvillestud.blogspot.in/2008/05/starynessey-and-henrythenavigator.html) said how excited we were for the progeny of this mating to run.

DARE TO DREAM - by Oath - Starynessey(foal of 2011), last week won The Alcock Arabian Stakes Gr.3, being his 3rd win from as many starts. He annihilated his opposition to win by 8 1/2 lengths. This is a very promising start and a lot more will be heard of DARE TO DREAM who is sure to get a longer trip in future. Even at this early stage, he seems to be the best sired by Oath.
