Axom is delighted to offer 1/20th (5%) shares in NYLON SPEED, an attractive five-year-old gelding. This promising novice hurdling prospect won two races in Germany on the Flat over 1m2f. Nylon Speed is very athletic and is in training with Alan King at his Barbury Castle stables in Wiltshire, a trainer who does very well with this type of horse. Alan has trained a number of winners for Axom over the years with the likes of Ouzbeck, Ziga Boy and Fidux and he is enjoying another typically fine season. Nylon Speed is by the young sire, Campanologist, who was a top-class staying horse for Godolphin and won four Group 1 races on the Flat.

Nylon Speed had a wind operation at the beginning of the year and he made a winning debut in Axom silks over a mile and a half at Kempton on 21 August. He travelled strongly into the race and picked up well in the straight, showing a lovely attitude to hold off the persistent challenge of the second horse. Nylon Speed made a winning hurdling debut at Warwick on 25 September and looks a bright prospect for the future.
