Repartee (IRE)

The Kevin Ryan-trained REPARTEE stamped himself as a star of the future when he ran out an impressive winner of the ebfstallions.com Maiden Stakes at York’s Dante meeting. The son of INVINCIBLE SPIRIT, who is a three-parts brother to sire sensation and Irish 2,000 Guineas winner KINGMAN, was purchased by by Stephen Hillen at Kevin Ryan for 310,000 Guineas at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. He was sold there by Oghill House Stud on behalf of his breeders Wansdyke Farms Ltd and Joseph Burke. His victory netted his owned Sheikh Mohammed Obaid £37,450, including an October Book 1 Bonus of £25,000, the 139th winner from the scheme that has now paid out £3,475,000.
