We purchased Bee Stinger on the 30th June 2006 and at Windsor on the 2nd July 2006, he duly obliged.

Bee Stinger I’m convinced will be joining Partners in Jazz at Royal Ascot 2007.

Our 2 year olds are not of the mark yet but the firm ground has not helped.

Hunt Cup talk as Bee Stinger continues on up

Bee Stinger has improved considerably since being stepped up to 1m this year and he continued his progression by taking the latest renewal of the John Smith's Brighton Mile Handicap - the richest race of the year at the seaside venue - for Ian Wood and Ryan Moore.

Having won his first two starts of the year, the son of Almaty had come unstuck on his last couple of outings, but his trainer felt he had just been unfortunate.

Wood said: "He did not have a great draw at Lingfield two starts back where he ran into a nice horse of John Gosden's, and then he probably got to the front too soon in a decent race at Ascot last time.

"Ryan gave him a lovely ride and really liked him - he thinks he could be a Hunt Cup horse next year."

Star performance

Bee Stinger gained his third success of the year in the richest race on the card and is progressing well.
