Degannwy

 

Last week we had a visitor to the stud who came to find out more about the Dam of a horse she had purchased. The Dam in question was Degannwy, one of the original mares James and Celia purchased when starting Freedom Farm Stud. Now 22, and following a leg injury last season, she is retired. Degannwy now has a very important job playing nanny to the young mares.

During her racing career she won once and was placed four times from ten starts. As a brood mare her prodigy included Keen Winner who won two listed races including the Hong Kong Derby, and Sunshine on Me, winner of three races and placed in three more.
