Native Ruler
Bay TB 16.2hh 2006 Cape Cross - Love Divine
Native Ruler is a big good looking son of Cape cross with classic breeding at a great price. By Cape Cross, the sire of Sea The Stars and Ouija Board out of the Oaks winner Love Divine, and half brother to the European champion Sixties Icon.
Sir Henry Cecil described him as
‘….Potentially a high class Group performer. He is a lovely mover with a top class pedigree. Unfortunately he was retired due to a leg injury. I can see him at stud, producing horses of real ability both on the Flat and National Hunt. I strongly recommend him, as I feel that he is a very exciting stallion prospect.'

'' He loomed up passing the 3f pole, battled very hard under pressure and looked to have done enough, just enough on the run to the line, but....he had the prize snatched from him in the very last stride.....he hardly deserved to lose....'' Racing Post
4th Gr.2 Yorkshire Cup, 14f, York beating Askar Tau(multiple Gr.2) and stakes winner Buxted, Free Agent and Electrolyser.
''The way the race unfolded didn't allow him to lenghthen as well as he can...'' Racing Post
