‘I’m a big fan of Kodi Bear – his progeny are great to train because they always turn up fresh and well in the mornings, and you always know they’ll try their best, which makes it easier to judge their form. Aigeas is a lovely horse; we’ve taken our time with him as he’s developed so much. He won first time out and we look forward to running him in the Prix Herod.’
Ollie Cole, trainer
‘Kodi Bear is a no brainer for us as he gets a very consistent type, medium sized, strong and good movers, which has led to the trainers we work with having good results with his offspring for many years now.’
