Sure Spirit (IRE)

2020 Bay filly by Invincible Spirit (IRE) ex Don't Be (GB) (Cape Cross (IRE))

Sure Spirit is by the top class sire Invincible Spirit, a Group 1 winning sprinter who passes on that incredible speed and class to his offspring. He is the sire of the exceptional Kingman (now a fantastic stallion himself) and consistently produces top class horses from 5 furlongs to 1 mile, even now in his mid-twenties. 

Her dam, Don’t Be, was a prolific winner for Sir Mark Prescott, including multiple Listed races and notching up an impressive run of 5 wins in a row. She was a tough race filly who did nothing but improve with age, which we hope will be the case with Sure Spirit too. Sure Spirit has finished in the runner up spot twice before meeting a slight setback and could give us a lot of fun when we see her back on the track!

Trainer

Sir Mark Prescott is one of the most respected trainers in the country, with his old-school style and shrewd race-planning becoming nothing short of legendary. There could have been no more popular or deserving winner of the Arc De Triomphe in 2022 than Alpinista, both for the filly’s admirable toughness and for her much-loved trainer.
