On a winter morning, Philip Looyens told me about a very nice filly in Poland. In between a hectic Middle East
season, he went to see her quickly with Mr. Gerald Kurtz. It was a cold snowy day, he saw her for around 30 seconds
outside, because the ground was very icy. Philip sent me a very short video, and the only thing I could see was a little
hairball bouncing happily in a wet paddock, BUT...with the most stunning face..
Unfortunately, there was another client in front of us, so we had to wait three days for him to make a decision.
Philip asked me not to send the video to Sheikha Fatima to avoid a disappointment, as the filly would possibly sell.
Well, I did not listen, and I sent a short message to her saying: “You need to see this,” and forwarded the video. I got a
very short message back after five seconds: “Whatever it takes, I need to have her.”
