British-bred veteran Royal Performer, by the late Cheveley Park stallion Medicean, provided quite an upset by landing Saturday s Group 1 Herbie Dyke Stakes at Te Rapa.
Certainly Royal Performer has a few stories to tell, having been bred by Lady Legard out of ex-Juddmonte Polish Precedent mare Quadri.
Related to some minor winners, he was actually offered as a yearling at an Ascot sale in November 2014 but was bought back for just £600 and began his racing career under the name of Turn Tide for David Brown and John Fretwell.
A winner of three of his five starts in Britain, as well as finishing fourth behind future Classic winner Galileo Gold in a novice race at Haydock, he was bought for Hong Kong and appeared as Royal Performer for Casper Fownes.
