First Season Sire Watch on Saturday

Tara Madgwick - Friday December 18

Place in the Golden Slipper and Blue Diamond, Newgate Farm’s Flying Artie was a high class two year-old that got even better at three, so for his supporters what we are seeing from him so far could be just a small taste of what’s to come.
