Mike said: “I’ve had my eye on the pair for a while, especially on Sanshaawes. Thanks to my patrons for putting their money down and welcome to Gavin Almanza, who has his first interest in the stable.

Dear mr de Kock. My husband Avison and I bred Patriotic Rebel. We raced the family and had wonderful horses, Rebel Patriot, Ravenscraig, Rebellious Streak who are all multiple winners. The latest member of the family, Regal Eagle has just had his 2nd win in 4 starts. We wish you every success with Patriotic Rebel and we’ll follow his progress with you with very keen and affectionate interest. Kind regards Mary Carlisle
Mary your husband has the name of a wonderful but little known Northern composer and his surname is Carlisle which is not far from Avisons home in Northumberland. No wonder you are on song!
