Bated Breath, boasting a strike rate of 60% winners to runners, is a stallion with whom our trainer, Brian Meehan, has enjoyed success this year. Toca Madera finished 3rd in both the G2 July Stakes and the G2 Richmond.

Purchased at the Tattersalls Book 1 Yearling Sale, War Howl was one that slipped through the net, and we were there to capitalise. His dam, Camelot Rakti, a two-year-old winner, adds pedigree strength as the half-sister to the accomplished Listed winner Tupi.

“Not that often you can come out of Book 1 and say you bought with value and this fella I think was bought with real value. He’s a cracking Bated Breath gelding, he’s a gorgeous first foal out of the mare. He’s a very exiting horse and one that we will be hunting the Book 1 bonus with” - Sam Sangster
