Ventura Heads To Australia

Ventura Storm winning in Milan

It has been announced that Group 1 winner VENTURA STORM will be continuing his racing career in Australia after he was bought this week by bloodstock agent Louis Le Metayer.

Bought from the Tattersalls Breeze-Up sale as a two year old by Doyle Bloodstock last year, the son of Zoffany has tallied up six career wins, including a Group 1 success. He also took second place in the final Classic of the season, the Ladbrokes St Leger.

Ventura Storm ran a super race in the St Leger, where he looked to be the winner up until the final stages. “Some people say he didn't stay, which I am inclined to believe, but he was right there until the dying strides and I thought we were going to win a St Leger”

He gained his Group 1 triumph when claiming victory in the Premio Jockey Club at the San Siro last month. “He ran a very gutsy race, with Cristian Demuro getting the best out of him”

He has been a real pleasure to work with and we wish him all the best as he continues his career with David Hayes and his team.
