COSMO BROWN

2023 Bay Gelding by Ghaiyyath (IRE) x Cosmic Approach (IRE)

Cosmo Brown was one of our picks of day one of the recent Tattersalls horses in training sale. We have had plenty of success in targeting day one of the sale in the past as there is a feeling that sometimes the market doesn’t quite come to boiling point too early. He was a horse who incidentally we had viewed as a yearling and liked but saw him as needing a bit of time and for that reason we passed him over. His previous trainers gave him all the time he needed and in recent months he has started to show the benefit of that. He has been placed in his last four starts in handicaps (he’s only run in five), looking progressive each time. He has been bought with an eye on staying handicaps for next year. His last run over one mile and six furlongs suggested that two miles and beyond could be well within his compass next year. His form on an artificial surface has us thinking that he could be the sort of horse to make into a Nortumberland Plate/Vase candidate in the high summer months of 2027 too. He has the size and scope to make into a lovely jumping prospect in time and will suit any owner looking to purchase a progressive stayer who has best days are well and truly ahead of him.

Price: 43,000 Guineas
