Royal Esprit at Rosehill.
August 11th, 2008.
Bel Esprit has started the new season off the same way he finished the last with a winner when Royal Esprit took out the 1200 metre welter at Rosehill on Saturday.
Royal Esprit, a $160,000 purchase from the draft of Huntworth Stud at the 2006 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, was recently transferred to John Hawkes at the start of this preparation and he has blossomed winning four of his five starts since resuming with a win on May 31.The powerful bay stormed home to win for in-form jockey Glyn Schofield and will be placed to further advantage in coming weeks, his overall record now stands at five wins and two placing's with more than $120,000 in earnings from 13 starts.Royal Esprit was bred and offered for sale by Huntworth Stud, and is the first foal of the Brief Truce mare Floribunda, a half-sister to Group Three winning sprinter Stormy Regent.He is one of a number of smart gallopers sired by Eliza Park’s Bel Esprit, who covered a record 264 mares last spring at a fee of $20,000 (inc gst).This spring his fee is $33,000 (inc gst).
