Havana Gold colt wins ROA Award
Havana Gold’s two-year-old son Chipotle won the Special Achievement Award at the prestigious ROA Awards on December 9.
10,000-guineas yearling purchase Chipotle – by Tweenhills sire Havana Gold - landed another big prize in 2021 when named the winner of the Special Achievement Award at the Racehorse Owners Association (ROA) Awards.
His CV already included wins in the Brocklesby Stakes, Royal Ascot Two-Year-Old Trial Conditions Stakes, Listed Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot and Listed Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar this year. He then sold for 210,000gns to continue his racing career in Saudi Arabia.
Congratulations to all those involved with Chipotle this season.
Havana Gold is the leading UK-based sire of 2yos in Europe in 2021. His 32 individual winners – also including Listed winner Fearby and recent debut winner Poppy Bouchet – puts him ahead of Dubawi (31) and Showcasing (29).
Havana Gold will stand for £12,500 (Oct 1st SLF) at Tweenhills in 2022 – his 2021 sales yearlings averaged just shy of 32,000gns and included several colts who sold for over £100,000.
