Mystery Downs Celebrate Special New Foal

Tara Madgwick - Monday Sep 21

Frank and Christine Cook are two of the most popular and successful racehorse owners in Sydney and they also breed horses under their Mystery Downs banner that include unbeaten sprinter Lord Remlap, whose baby half-brother has arrived safe and sound.

When Lord Remlap won last month securing his path to the $2million The Kosciuszko (1200m), we wrote this story on the Scott Singleton trainer speedster, who is now four wins from four starts, click to read.

Lord Remlap’s dam Devolving and her dam Calaluna were also bred and raced by the Cook’s, so it’s no surprise they elected to retain a share in Lord Remlap when he was sold as a yearling for $80,000 at Inglis Classic in the Fairview Park draft to Scott Singleton.
