Festoso 4th Top Lot
3rd December 2009
FESTOSO was sold at the recent Tattersall Mare sale for an amazing 460,000guineas. She was in fact joint 4th top lot behind Lush Lashes. It was a very emotionally charged occasion as she was one of the first horses to arrive at Windsor House Stables when Harry started training in October 2006. She firmly put Harry's career on the map by signing off her 2yo career 3rd behind Natagora and Fleeting Spirit in the Group1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket. She was plagued by injury and yet still managed Black type at both 3yrs and 4yrs. She will be forever part of Harry Dunlop Racing and we all wish her and her new owners Coolmore much sucess in the breeding shed. It is likely that she will visit Galileo in 2010.
