Lynward Park resident Trade Fair sired his 12th stakes winner when Nameitwhatyoulike landed the LR Garrowby Stakes (1200m) at York on Sunday.

Nameitwhatyoulike (7g Trade Fair – Emma Peel by Emarati) is in career-best form despite his advancing years.  He had won the Great St Wilfrid Stakes at Ripon last month and was always travelling comfortably for a black-type first at York.

Bookmakers firmed Nameitwhatyoulike into $13 for the Ayr Gold Cup on September 17.  “He’s a dream and trains himself,” Hambleton House conditioner Bryan Smart said.  “In the past when he’s gone to Ayr it has always been at the end of a busy season, but he’s much fresher this year, that was only his fourth run.

“He will received a penalty now so I might also look at sending him across for a Group 3 in France.”

Nameitwhatyoulike cost 6,000 pounds at the 2010 Goffs yearling sale and has earned over 153,000 pounds from 9 wins in 52 starts.  His dam Emma Peel was a stakes winner in Germany and her other foals include Scandinavian stakes winner Females Fun (Diktat).

Trade Fair has also been credited with a Group 1 winner, albeit in a steeplechase, at Saratoga.  His Irish bred jumper Portrade led at every obstacle in the New York Turf Writers Cup (3800m) on August 25.

Lynward Park Stud stands Trade Fair (Zafonic) for a fee of $5,500 (inc gst).
