Makin Buys Classic Contender Marcel

Marcel | Racing Post

Paul Makin, who famously dispersed all of his breeding stock at the Paulyn Dispersal at Goffs November in 2013, has purchased last year's G1 Racing Post Trophy winner Marcel (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}) privately, according to Racing Post. Marcel, a 26,000 Tattersalls October yearling, was formerly campaigned by owner Paul Hancock and he will remain in the care of trainer Peter Chapple-Hyam.

“Marcel has been purchased by Paul Makin and stays with Peter,” agent Dermot Farrington, who brokered the deal, told Racing Post. “I think the plan is to aim him at the [G1 2000] Guineas.”

Despite selling off his breeding stock a little over three years ago, the Australian-born entrepreneur Makin has kept a few horses in training in Britain with the likes of Jeremy Noseda and William Haggas.
