Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 12, 2018 Journalists Share Posted November 12, 2018 Group 3 winner Swiss Spirit (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}–Swiss Lake, by Indian Ridge {Ire}), who was also runner-up twice at the Group 2 level, will stand at Batsford Stud in Gloucestershire in 2019 for a fee of £3,000 (Oct. 1 Special Live Foal). Previously a resident of Whitsbury Manor Stud, Swiss Spirit is now owned solely by Lordship Stud after they bought out partner Whitsbury Manor Stud. The half-brother to MGSW Swiss Diva (GB) (Pivotal {GB}) has sired 43% winners-to-runners from his first crop, and he has 80 yearlings and 87 weanlings to go to war with in the future. “We are delighted that Swiss Spirit will be standing in Britain at such a well regarded stud, and we will continue to support him,” said owner/breeders Trevor and Elizabeth Harris. “With proven speed, precocity and soundness, we believe he represents great value for smaller breeders.” “I have always wanted to stand an out-and-out sprinter and Swiss Spirit certainly ticks all the boxes,” said Batsford Stud’s Alan Varey. “He is very correct horse with plenty of bone. We have had a long standing relationship with Trevor and Elizabeth Harris as, of course, we stand Native Ruler on their behalf.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
