The existing Aston Mullins Stud strategy is to sell the colts and race the fillies. It is a policy that is already working out well.
Sales Record
Notable sales include a Halling colt out of Society knocked down for €150,000 euros at Deauville in 2004 to Darley. NB This marked the highest price a Halling colt sold that year.
The following sales' season saw a Montjeu colt out of Sparksy's Song go under the hammer for 135,000 guineas at Tattersalls to Paul Shanahan.
Racing Record
The best horses bred at the Stud have been Morning Reserves – Group-placed – and High Reach, a three-time winner who was good enough to compete at Group-level.
Research by Weatherbys shows that completing Aston Mullins-bred horses have a runners-winners ratio of 69 per cent – an impressive statistic by any standards.
Associated success
In addition to Aston Mullins Stud, Simon Hope has a team of horses in training, running either in his name or in partnership and his trainers are Clive Cox and David Simcock.
Hope ‘n’ Charity was a listed winner – the Empress Stakes – for him and his partner Stephen Barrow in 2006. The sadly deceased daughter of Smart Strike was also fourth in the Cherry Hinton. The future hope is Don't Forget Faith, an impressive Newmarket maiden winner, beating Visit, who now looks to have a hugely exciting future ahead of her with a major target being the 1,000 Guineas.
