This beautifully bred colt was purchased out of John Gosden’s yard for 20,000 guineas from the DBS Sales.

The Hague was originally owned by Sheikh Mohammed's wife from whom we purchased him.

The Hague is the half brother to Vista Bella who is a listed winner and finished 3rd in the 1000 Guineas GROUP 1.

This lightly raced colt has the profile of a progressive type who we feel has the potential not only to develop into a decent flat horse but in time to make into a very nice hurdler.

The Hague made a winning debut for Diamond Racing landing a massive gamble in the process at Brighton on 20th April 2010.

Further improvement is expect throughout the season.
