In all, Summerhill took home seven awards, and it’s probably appropriate that we should give credit where credit is due. Our people deserve everything they have achieved. They are as gifted, hard working and dedicated a workforce as you’ll find in breeding anywhere in the world. We’re extremely proud of them and delighted that at least 11 of them got to attend the function. We tried to get 30 seats, but they weren’t available, and we owe apologies to those that didn’t get to attend.

Watch our champion Kahal in action in the Nearctic Stakes.
