We came out of the sales season very well,” says Pennell. “We had a vintage crop of yearlings and they weren’t all by the most expensive inexpensive stallions, so we couldn’t complain. Unfortunately it seemed more difficult for those who had to sell in online sales last year. It was always going to be hard to sell horses without buyers being able to see them in the flesh.” Pennell also had news of of the team's triple Group 1-winning sprinter Glass Slippers, a daughter of Dream Ahead who won the Abbaye, Flying Five and Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint for the Kevin Ryan yard. The stud was early off the mark this year too. Insomnia, the three-year-old Due Diligence half-brother to Queen Jo Jo, made a pleasing impression when successful on debut in a Lingfield maiden for Richard Spencer, while Gravity Force, a four-year-old by another former resident sire, Fountain Of Youth, scored on his first start for Pia Brandt in France.

In the middle of The Roaches is Doxey Pool a beautiful spot that is shrouded in myth and mystery. Some say it’s bottomless, others say an evil mermaid dwells within its depths! The mythical Doxey Pool. Although it is not clear exactly where Lud’s church acquired its name it does seem fitting to imagine the technologically averse Luddites meeting for church in such a natural wonder. Lud’s church also has a place of honour in Folklore; it is thought to be the setting of the culmination of the Medieval poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. How long is the walk to Lud’s Church?
