 Paul P Chow and  Tartan Meadow Bloodstock are excited to announce that we have successfully purchased Summer Festival, the winner of the Group II Derby Italiano 2018, for a valued client from Hong Kong. 


Poet's Voice is the sire of Summer FestivalA 3yo colt by Group I sire Poet's Voice, he is the latest addition to a stellar field for Hong Kong's 4 year old classics in 2019 that already includes the Queensland Derby winner and runner up Dark Dream and Heavenly Thought, the lightly raced and promising Not Mine who ran a good fifth in the Prix du Jockey Club, and others yet to be revealed by connections.
