Wesley Ward: sending team of five juveniles to Britain

 By SCOTT BURTON    4:22PM 22 MAR 2016 

WESLEY WARD is wasting no time before introducing his two-year-olds to Europe this year, after confirming that Create A Dream will be his first runner in the Brocklesby Stakes at Doncaster.

Ward, no stranger to successful forays to Britain, will once again call on the services of Frankie Dettori for the race on April 2, the duo having tasted Group 1 success aboard Hootenanny and Undrafted.

Create A Dream heads a team of five two-year-olds that will be shipped over and stabled at Manton, with targets in Britain and France under consideration. 

The trainer said on Tuesday: “I am very excited about it. We have a filly that rose to the top of the ranks on grass at Palm Meadows [in Florida].

“I work all my two-year-olds on the turf to see which have Royal Ascot potential. This filly in particular has soared right to the top of the board there.”

‘Very excited to get Frankie aboard’

When asked how the Brocklesby became a target for a trainer who usually aims for the highest levels with his European raids, Ward said he was looking at a variety of early-season two-year-old races in order to test the waters ahead of the royal meeting.

“I talked with John Sparkman, who is the manager of St Elias Stable and the owner Mrs Viola, and we decided to go ahead with this particular race which kicks off your season,” said Ward. “I am very excited to get Frankie aboard and hopefully the luck with us will continue.”

Reacting to the news, Doncaster clerk of the course Roderick Duncan said: “Mr Ward’s transporter had contacted me about a week ago asking how early they could bring a horse in so I’m not altogether surprised.

“I didn’t realise what race it was for but if the Brocklesby is where it’s going that is great. We’re delighted and we’ll see where it goes. It’s fantastic for Doncaster.”

Previous triumphs

Ward first struck at Royal Ascot in 2009 with juveniles Strike The Tiger and Jealous Again.

In 2013 he pulled off the Norfolk Stakes-Prix Morny double with No Nay Never, while last season Queen Mary Stakes heroine Acapulco went on to be second to her elders in the Nunthorpe.
