Charmaine
3yo b f - Camelot ex Zest Trained by James Fanshawe.
Charmaine is by the outstanding racehorse Camelot, whose best runner to date is triple Gr.1 winner Luxembourg (bred on a similar cross to Charmaine). James Fanshawe trained Charmaine’s dam, the useful winner and Listed-placed Zest, and Charmaine’s granddam is a half-sister (by Sadler’s Wells) to World Champion Mare Soviet Song. Charmaine has not been easy to train, but impressed when winning a competitive fillies' novice race in September, and James hopes she is capable of better.

General Medrano
7yo b g - Ocovango ex Talween Trained by Emma Lavelle.
General Medrano was purchased by Elite Syndicates after finishing an eyecatching third in a NH Flat race for point-to-point horses in March 2021. General Medrano showed promise in his first three runs for Emma Lavelle. Following a wind operation, he impressed when easily winning a maiden hurdle at Fontwell in February 2023, and when a close fourth in the £100,000 novices' handicap hurdle at Sandown in April. Last season, he won twice over fences and was placed afterwards. We hope he can continue to be successful over the larger obstacles this season.

Harmoniser
3yo b g - Sea The Moon ex Harmonica Trained by Roger Varian.
Harmoniser is by Sea The Moon, a highly impressive German Derby winner and sire of many useful Group race winners, most notably the Coronation Stakes winner Alpine Star. His dam, a half-sister to the Listed winner Tiffany out of a half-sister to multiple Gr.1 winner Soviet Song, won twice over 1m and was placed in a Listed race. This gelding has not shown much in two races to date, but we hope will be capable of better in handicaps in 2025.
-
Kordylia
2yo b f - Kingman ex Tribute Act Trained by James Fanshawe.
Kordylia was quite a late foal (born 27 April), so still has some developing to do. Her sire has produced 10 Gr.1 winners, including Sauterne and Feed The Flame in 2023. Kordylia's dam, Tribute Act, was a very useful racehorse for James Fanshawe, winning three times and also finishing a wonderful second in the Gr.2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot, making the daughter of Exceed And Excel an outstanding broodmare prospect as a half-sister to Gr.1 winner Ribbons. Kordylia ran twice in the autumn and is now resting. During this time, we hope she strengthens up, as she has been immature throughout 2024.

Laverne
2yo b f - Mayson ex Loretta Trained by Julie Camacho.
This unraced filly's sire was a Gr.1-winning sprinter who has produced some fast horses, including Gr.1 winner Oxted. Her dam was placed on the Flat and is a good-looking mare who is extremely well-bred, being a sister to 18-time winner (inc. twice at Gr.3 level) Judicial and half-sister to dual Gr.1 winner Marsha. She is quite a small filly who has struggled with immaturity in 2024, hence she has not yet raced.
-
New Statesman
3yo b g - Churchill ex Madison Trained by -.
New Statesman is a son of the successful young sire Churchill, a European Champion 2yo and dual Classic winner, whose best runners to date are the French stars Vadeni and Blue Rose Cen. His dam, the late Madison, comes from the Club’s highly successful Kalinka line and her only other runner is the winning filly Zapphire. New Statesman is bred on the tried and tested Galileo (Churchill’s sire) and Danehill Dancer (Madison’s grandsire) cross. He has not shown much on the racecourse so far and is currently enjoying a break at EquiPrep.
-
Overture
3yo ch f - New Approach ex Tribute Act Trained by Sir Mark Prescott.
Overture’s dam Tribute Act won three times and was placed second in the Gr.2 Duke Of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot, making her an outstanding broodmare prospect as a half-sister to Gr.1 winner Ribbons. Overture is by the multiple Gr.1 and Derby winner New Approach, who has produced many Gr. 1 winners, including Classic winners Masar, Dawn Approach and Talent. Overture improved tremendously when racing over 1m2f and beyond and has won her last four races, including a decent fillies' handicap at Yarmouth in September. She is now enjoying a winter break and we hope she can win Listed/Pattern races in 2025.

Petula
2yo b f - Calyx ex Affinity Trained by Sir Mark Prescott.
This unraced filly has not been the easiest to train but looks strong and has shown ability in her work. She is a half-sister to the four-time winner, including at Listed level, Tiffany, who is also trained by Sir Mark Prescott. Her sire was a high-class sprinter and produced several useful 2yos from his first runners in 2023, including two Gr.2 winners. Her winning dam is by Sadler's Wells and has produced five winners from six runners to date.
-
Polka
2yo b f - Territories ex Roubles Trained by Julie Camacho.
This unraced filly is a granddaughter of the Club’s superstar racemare, Soviet Song, and is a half-sister to the juvenile winners First Of May and Zachary. Her sire was a Gr.1-winning 3yo who has produced the Gr.1 winners Regional and Rougir and a number of useful 2yos in 2023. We hope to see this good looking filly on the course before the end of 2024.
-
Silent City
2yo b f - Cityscape ex Kind Of Hush Trained by Roger Varian.
This is a big, raw filly (unraced) with lots of scope, who is likely to take some time to reach full maturity. Her well-bred, Gr.1-winning sire has produced several useful horses over the years, including Gr.1 winner La City Blanche. Her dam Kind Of Hush has quite a nice pedigree but showed modest form on the racecourse and has produced two winners to date, 2yo handicap winner Maurice Dancer and the more physically imposing handicap debutante winner, Mighty Quiet.
-
Tiffany
4yo b f - Farhh ex Affinity Trained by Sir Mark Prescott.
The Club's flagship horse is an athletic daughter of dual Gr.1-winner Farhh and has lived up to her pedigree. Tiffany improved throughout 2023, landing a German Listed race in September. She has thrived in 2024, winning at Listed level in Germany before adding the Group 3 Hoppings Stakes at Newcastle to her CV. She also won at Group 2 level in Germany and finished third in the Group 1 Fillies and Mares Stakes on Champions Day at Ascot. In Tiffany's final race of the season, she was beaten a neck in the Group 1 Preis von Bayern, and we hope she can break through at this level in 2025.
-
Tremolo
2yo br g - Bated Breath ex Harmonica Trained by Harry Charlton.
This is a highly attractive and athletic gelding whose sire was a top sprinter and is a consistent sire of useful horses. Tremolo's dam, Harmonica, is a half-sister to Group 1-placed Tiffany and is out of a half-sister to multiple Gr.1 winner Soviet Song. Tremolo finished fourth on heavy ground on debut before finishing second in a decent contest at Southwell. He needs one more run to qualify for handicaps and could be a useful recruit for the patient Harry Charlton.
-
Zapphire
4yo b f - Zoffany ex Madison Trained by Julie Camacho.
Zapphire is the first foal out of the late Madison, from the Club’s successful Kalinka line, which produced the Gr. 1 winners Soviet Song, Ribbons and Marsha. This filly is by the late Zoffany, a son of Dansili and a useful sire, including of 2021’s 1,000 Guineas winner Mother Earth. Zapphire won as a three-year-old and has been very consistent throughout 2024. She was just touched off twice before winning at Redcar, and has been placed in decent company since. She is now enjoying a well-earned break and we hope she can win again in 2025.
