Exciting Gimcrack winner Lifeplan not for sale – and his Group 1 target has been confirmed.

According to The Sun: The owners of the two-year-old horse Lifeplan, who has become a real revelation, have rejected lucrative offers for this Gimcrack winner.

The unbeaten colt achieved a historic victory in a Group 2 at York on just his second start, attracting significant interest from wealthy racing enthusiasts.

The horse is being prepared for the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes in Newmarket, which will take place on September 27, after he secured the biggest win in trainer Declan Carroll's 20-year career.

Lifeplan, the son of Kodi Bear, is owned by successful businessman Martin Tedham, who has already rejected several offers from wealthy foreign owners.

Carroll said: “The interest in him after York was significant, but the owners do not want to sell; they want to keep him.”

“I am pleased with his condition after York; he looks fantastic. We are aiming for the Middle Park. It’s a very exciting prospect.”

“We discussed the possibility of stepping up to seven furlongs in Dewhurst, but this year we will keep him at six furlongs. He endured a lot at York, but next year we plan to increase the distance.”

“We should hope that the ground softens a bit by the end of next month, as on quick ground the races can literally get away from you on the dips at Newmarket.”

Seven years ago, Carroll lost a very promising Santi, who suffered a fatal injury in training in North Yorkshire, just days before a race where he was to be the favorite in the Gimcrack at York.

Now his patience seems to have paid off, although he does not compare the two horses.

He noted: “Santi was a wonderful horse, but you cannot compare them, like children.”

“I thought moving from a novice win to a Group 2 race was a tough ask, but he is very clever. We have always rated him very highly.”
