River Gold

Shares are available with Deva Racing in River Gold, an exciting three-year-old filly recently recruited from France. She will go juvenile hurdling in the coming months and looks like a top-notch prospect. She will be trained by the Seven Barrows maestro, Nicky Henderson.

An attractive grey daughter of Stormy River, she was a promising third at Compiegne on her debut in May, before winning over 3400m at Dieppe on her second run. Settled in midfield behind a clear leader, River Gold travelled powerfully and demonstrated a surefooted jumping technique throughout the contest, before moving to the lead two hurdles from the finish.

She didn’t need maximum persuasion from her rider to pull clear, eventually winning by nine lengths with her head in her chest. She was clearly in a different league to her rivals, several of whom have franked the form by running well since.

Sourced after the race by the Deva Racing team, River Gold looks just the type to excel when switched to Britain.

Out of a well-related mare by the super sire Wootton Bassett, she is a near-relation of the Listed-winning French hurdler and multiple Group 3-placed chaser Mayev. A little further back in the family we find the French Champion Dancehall, who won the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris and was second to Old Vic in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club, before developing into a decent sire.

River Gold’s sire Stormy River, winner of the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat during his racing days, is an ultra-reliable dual-purpose stallion. He is responsible for countless smart runners under both codes, including the Group 3-winning French hurdler Storminator, the dual code Listed winner Tara River, and Call Me Bubbles, who was a 140+ rated hurdler for Willie Mullins.
