Ollie Sangster Stable Tour

The rising star has a top team of two-year-olds at Manton House, headed by stable star Simmering who’s set to contest a Group 1 next time.

Ollie Sangster has enjoyed a productive second season with 19 winners so far and the promise of great glories this autumn. 

The star of the show this time around has been the juvenile filly Simmering who opened her account with success in the Group 3 Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot in July and stepped up on that effort when slamming Fraise Des Bois three lengths in the Group 2 Prix du Calvados at Deauville in August.

All roads will lead her to a crack at the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac on Arc Day at ParisLongchamp but the Manton trainer hasn’t ruled out a possible tilt at the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh on September 15, for which she would have to be supplemented.

Sangster said: “We are happy with how the season has gone so far and we will keep kicking and seen where we go. We have had to rely on the two-year-olds as we don’t have a lot of older horses this time around but they will be turning three next year so we will have a whole lot more.”

One that will hopefully be back for a full four-year-old season will be another top filly, Shuwari, who won the listed Star Stakes for Sangster in his first season in 2023 and ended her juvenile campaign with a half-length second to Ylang Ylang in the Group 1 Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket. 

The New Bay filly missed her Classic season due to a setback but is ticking over at home and could have a run on the all-weather towards the end of the year.

Ollie, who has been going great guns with his two-year-olds, kindly talked to Tony Elves of attheraces.com about his team.
