Born: 1992
Died: 1995
Breeder: A. Bale-Williams

In 1991, my father retired. As a farewell gift from his colleagues, He received a budget to acquire a bay colt from Wales. So, in spring 1992, we set a trip to Wales to go and find the colt. We went to visit The Revel, Baledon, Rookery and Ceulan studs to see what was there.

At Baledon, we found two bay colts. One out of Baledon Jubilation by  Weston Wyseworth  who ticked all boxes. Unfortunately, he was already sold to live a long career in Scotland and is known to us as Baledon Wyseman now.

The other colt was out of Brierwood Pancake. A very interestingly bred colt and a grandson of Criban Old Oak, who was a half brother to our first stallion. We used him as a two year old, but at the 1995 inspection, he did not get his premium at the stallion inspection. On the day, my father sold him to Austria, where he died shortly after due to an accident.

We bred two colts by him, Sumrin Milky Way and Sumrin Cosmos.
