             Looking Forward to the Main Winter Season for All our Horses and Owners

                                                           After the 18 months we have all endured and with the world

                                                           has never been a better time to get involved with racehorse
                                                           ownership. There are a wide selection of ownership

                                                           not only how well we communicate with our owners but
                                                           also our open house policy and financial transparency. Do

behind Nicky Henderson’s well thought of mare, Theatre Glory; the second Boombawn, was later sold for £55,000. Martin
was delighted with his performance. He said: “Hogan, as we call him, ran very well in what was a good race for the time of the
year, and we believe he is a very exciting prospect. Following a summer break, he has now returned to training and will be
running in either another bumper or making his hurdles debut in October/November.”
Hogan is by Sageburg, who has already produced many top class horses and the winning dam is closely related to Graded
winner Graphic Approach and Irish Grand National winner Feathered Gale.
Approximately 3/4 of the 125 shares have already been sold to those who were involved with him in 2021. We are selling the
remaining shares at £360 each which includes the share purchase cost and all keep costs for 2022. Benefits include a full
share of prize money and resale value, visits to the yard and regular videos and updates through the Racing Manager app.

                           Martin Keighley Racing Partnership 11

She Has Notions, or “Nobby” as we call him, is an attractive 4 year old bay gelding by the sought after stallion Soldier of
Fortune out of a winning dam who has already produced two winners. He finished 3rd of 10 runners in a hurdle race on his
debut after running exceptionally green early on. However, he ran on strongly when he worked out what was being asked of
him. The Racing Post analysis of his performance says “has a good pedigree for jumping, will learn plenty from the
experience, and can win races."
We’ve very recently purchased the horse (through bloodstock agent Gerry Hogan) privately from John Halley. Martin has had
great success with buying horses from John Halley in the past - namely Any Currency, Found On and Kazontherazz – all
three being super types that Martin has been able to obtain significant improvement from once transferred to his care.
Nobby is a super mover and Martin is convinced will improve significantly as he strengthens up. His current thinking is to get
him ready to run in hurdle races from around October.. He looks a certain winner and is an exciting horse for the future.
He represents exceptional value at just £ 1400 per 1/10th share and several shares have been sold before we have even
started advertising him, so act quickly before all shares are snapped up.
