NSFA Award for Hazelwood

[Wandering Eyes]

The Newmarket Stud Farmers’ Association (NSFA) held its AGM and board elections this week, as well as the presentation of its annual award.

“The Association’s Annual Award is given to one of its members who has upheld the highest standards expected in Newmarket,” said NSFA Chairma Nick Angus-Smith. “It must be very rare indeed for a stud to board a mare who is covered, conceived, subsequently foaled and her offspring raised, sold at Tattersalls and then go into training all within 10 miles of the Newmarket clock tower. We refer of course to the Dubawi yearling out of Alina offered at Tattersalls by Adrian O’Brien’s Hazelwood Bloodstock and bought by Godolphin for 3.6 million gns. Hazelwood’s three lots sold at Tattersalls October Book 1 made a total of 5.875 million gns. It was, therefore, with great pleasure that we presented our award to one of the association’s newest members.”

At the AGM, Louise Kemble of The Elms Stud, Tim Lane (National Stud), Martin Redmond (Godolphin), Ed Murrell (Juddmonte Farms), James O’Donnell (Shadwell Stud), Adrian O’Brien (Hazelwood Bloodstock) and John James (Brookside Stud) all retained their seats on the board. Andrew McGladdery of Rossdales veterinary practice was elected as an ex officio board member in the role of veterinary advisor, and Nick Angus-Smith will serve a further period as chairman of the association.
