‘I’m very keen on Califet. The thing I like about Califet is his ability to upgrade mares. He wouldn’t have been covering the best mares during his first couple of seasons, but he’s produced a number of high class runners. He’ll be a perfect match for Irish mares and I can see him working very well. He produces lovely looking stock that come to hand early, which will suit point-to-point trainers’ Anthony Bromley

This is the quality of horse we are dealing with’ Paris Turf

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT HIM: ‘David Bass got off him and said he is a monster. He is not short of speed but he is the most relaxed laid back horse we have. He keeps finding and finding in his races and is so hard.’ Ben Pauling If there is a gamer or tougher horse in training than Barters Hill- I have not seen him.’ Alastair Down, Racing Post
Trainers Favourite Jump Sires ‘Kalanisi produces particularly nice horses. They’re not the sharpest types I’ve seen but they have the ability when it comes to performing on the track and they improve over time. He is the sire of my best horse Barters Hill, who was quite slow in his first year in training but has kept improving.’ Ben Pauling ‘Kalanisi has been good to me and he’s always been good value. He’s a little bit under the radar even though he’s established and I like the fact that he produces good horses who improve.’ Evan Williams
