Victory of WOODHAY WONDER

The victory of WOODHAY WONDER in Saturday's £100,000 Somerville Auction Stakes at Newmarket provided a fitting finale to the week, with Tom Ward's Group 2 placed filly defeating Group 3 placed GEOLOGIST in a thrilling finish to claim the substantial prize money pot for owners Matthew Webber & Toby Ward. She was bought by Tom Ward with Stroud Coleman Bloodstock for 26,000 guineas from Genesis Green Stud and Des Thurly, and is one of a remarkable 16 Group/Listed performers for the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale in 2023.
