Norman is a coloured colt from Boomerang Blade. Boomer ran in the 1000 Guineas in the 1999 and won the Doncaster Yearling Selling Stakes in 98. This race was the richest race for 2yr olds.. £179,000 to the winner!
Sam looked after Boomer when she worked at Bryan Smart's yard when he was based in Lambourn.
When Boomer left training she became a Broad Mare and produce 5 foals for owner John Ford.
The Ford family gave Boomer to Sam last year and Sam was keen to produce her own foal - with a future eye on eventing it - so Boomer was covered by a Show Jumper and Norman is the result.
A very cute foal that was born at 5pm on Thursday. I was pleased to be able to go over and see the cute fella, and Boomer, today..
