Heart N Soul (FR)

Heart n Soul is one of four horses offered by 'The French Bred Syndicate', an exciting ownership venture based with trainer Natalie Bentley from her base at Pau, South Western France.

Ownership share or lease only options are available in the syndicate, with the possibility to be involved with one to four horses - the total minimum share being 5%. 

Membership of this syndicate offers you the chance to avail of the brilliant prizemoney and wonderful opportunities presented by French racing. The Natalie Bentley Racing yard is situated adjacent to the gallops at the famous Pau training centre, yet in a serene environment looking out onto open countryside; ideal surroundings to achieve optimal results!  

In addition to outstanding prizemoney levels, French bred horses are eligible for lucrative premiums on top of their basic earnings. For instance, the owners of the winner of a low grade €10,000 contest can expect bonuses totalling roughly €7,000 on top of their initial prizemoney.

Heart N Soul is a three-year-old filly out of the unraced Freedom Cry mare Allnitedancer and by the talented stallion Blek.

Blek was a high-class stayer during his racing days, winning 11 times and placing on a further 13 occasions from 41 starts. He won the Grp-2 Prix Maurice de Nieuil, defeated Kasbah Bliss in the Grp-3 Prix de Barbeville, and even finished a narrow fifth in the Grp-1 Prix Royal Oak.

Blek hails from an exceptional female line, featuring a multitude of stakes winners, and is closely related to the world class miler Solow, who won five Grp-1s and amassed over €5m in prizemoney.

Given his illustrious credentials it is no surprise that Blek has made a bright start to his stallion career. He has had 43 offspring to date, of which only nine have raced. They have combined to win three times and place on 22 occasions, and included amongst their number is the useful Blaine, who finished a good fifth in the Grade-3 Prix General de Saint-Didier at Compiegne last November.

For her part, Heart n Soul has made two racecourse appearances to date. On her first start she finished eighth of nine in a hot bumper, before improving to take a most promising fifth of 14 at Pompadour in June, and in doing so earn her first slice of prizemoney. After her next run in September she will get a handicap mark.

The plan is to continue with her in bumpers until the end of the year, at which point it is hoped she will be ready for her first race over obstacles at the Pau winter meeting.
