"strong horse: high-class performer: consistent."

Marco Botti - One of Britain's leading trainers

Says of Jakkalberry :

"Intelligent, excellent temperament, handsomely athletic with good physical conformation, speed to go."
"Courage, class and stamina are the attributes that saw Jakkalberry a Champion in, Italy (2010 and 2011) and Great Britain (2012)."
"A real pleasure to train and should Jakkalberry's foals inherit his qualities, then I can see him being a Champion at stud too."

James Mcdonald - Jockey

Says of Sweynesse :

"He was awesome. We got back in a slowly run race so his (sectional) splits
would have been amazing."

Hugh Bowman - Jockey

Says of Sweynesse :

"I was really pleased with First Seal but full credit to Sweynesse, I thought I had the race in my keeping. My filly wasn’t dying on her run but the colt picked me up and put me away."
