Take A Reef
Take A Reef (30 April 1971 – 1989) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. Although he never won a major weight-for-age race, his wins in handicaps led to him being controversially rated the best British three-year-old of his generation in 1974. After showing promise as a two-year-old in 1973, when he won two of his six races, he won the Epsom Handicap, Magnet Cup and Extel Stakes in 1974 under increasingly heavy weights. His racing career was ended by injury when he was being prepared for a run in the Champion Stakes and he was retired to stud with a record of five wins from ten races. He made very little impact as a breeding stallion and died in Sweden in 1989.
==Background==
Take A Reef was a bay horse with a small white star and two white coronets on his on his left feet bred in Ireland by P S Emmet. He was from the first crop of foals sired by Right Tack who in 1969 became the first horse to win both the 2000 Guineas and the Irish 2000 Guineas. Take A Reef's dam, an unraced French mare named Nigthingale (not ''Nightingale''), was a half-sister of Night And Day who won the Prix d'Hédouville and finished second in the Prix du Jockey Club. She was a descendent of the influential broodmare Hornet, making her a distant relative of many major winners including Rule of Law, Teenoso and Sir Percy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Whisker Mare - Family 3-c )〕
As a yearling, Take A Reef was acquired for 7,600 guineas〔 〕 by Tony Villar in partership with his mother-in-law Betty Fyfe-Jamieson and sent into training with Bruce Hobbs at his Palace House stable in Newmarket, Suffolk. At the time, Hobbs was at the peak of his training career, handling horses such as Jacinth and Cry of Truth.〔 〕
