Owner S W Group Logistics Limited- Breeder Ken Knox

Is there some connection between the owner/ Breeder? Yes there is, A very strong connection,
Mr. Knox is the Chairman of the S.W. Group, You will be thinking so what, The way I see it if you are a lawyer you can’t be doctor, If  own a Austin Allegro ( Nothing wrong with that) You can’t dream of winning a F1 race with your beloved Austin Allegro. I tried to find the stud farm where Mr. Knox carries out the breeding operations without any luck, on the flat I have always opposed horses bred by Mr. Knox, 98% of the time I have been right to do so.

XENOPHON- Breeder Winterbeck Manor Stud


SONGSMITH- Providence Stud


KAMBIS- Equibreed S R L

CUBAN PIECE- r T J Pabst And Newtown Stud

These four horse are not bred by a Gavin and Tracey kind of breeding operation, The word Stud means just that, This not just a fancy angle that I have just made up, In fact If had I not researched the S.W Group and had Mr.  Knox not popped up as the Chairman/ Breeder I would not be writing this because there are other important factors other than this.


My selection as won 2 races to date, Both times she as beaten moderate horses, Both her wins have been gained without her showing any kind of battling qualities, You just don’t know how she would perform under pressure, Also this is her first time in a handicap.

JACKIES SOLITAIRE: As fought hard to be at the top of the tree (Handicap) only just beaten (NS) in a grade 2 race this kind of represents a drop in class, Had she been trained By Nicky H, and ridden by A.P. she would be a odds on shot, Alas that is not the case, Hence she is priced at 5/2.


MAHAYOGIN Bred by Flaxman Holdings Ltd, the American breeding division of the Niarchos family's racing, Is the least exposed in the lineup, only 4 starts to date, It’s very hard to read its form, Sometimes horses don’t really show a true level of ability until that is they enter handicap company, Its really hard to gauge if this horse has shown its true form, Only the trainer/ owner would know this, I doubt very much they would tell you that, We just ran in him in md/novice company to get him a good handicap mark.
