Other Yorkshire Studs - Y
Yapham
Mill Stud
The Paddock, Yapham Mill,
Pocklington, East Yorks, YO42 1PB
Owner: Reg Bond (deceased)
Notes: Pocklington businessman Reg Bond, who was
a major owner with Bryan Smart (the likes of
Monsieur Bond, Bond City, Misu Bond etc) before setting up Geoff
Oldroyd as a semi-private trainer, trades
under the name Bond Thoroughbred Corporation from the Yapham Mill
Stud, just north of Pocklington where the majority of Bond's
business interests are centred, and where he wished to build an
all-weather race course at one point. The stud is a small modern
operation adjoining his home.
The mare Triple Tricks, dam of US Group winner Foxysox, was
bought for 13,000gns at the December Sales of 2004 - when Foxysox
was just a yearling, whilst listed winner, and fellow Yapham
resident, Kanisfluh was purchased as a three year old for
60,000gns at the same sale. Not surprisingly Monsieur Bond (who
initially stood at Whitsbury Manor Stud, but relocated to Norton Grove in 2010) has been heavily utilsed by Yapham
Mill, including as the sire of the Oldroyd trained Lady Royale
(out of winner Bond Royale) who was a good second in the Hilary
Needler Trophy L at Beverley in May 2010 and of
Ladies Are Forever (out of the unraced Forever Bond) who a month
later was third in Royal Ascot's Queen Mary Stakes G3 before
rounding out an excellent 2010 by landing the £130,003 Totepool
Two-Year-Old Trophy L at Redcar. In 2011 Ladies
Are Forever did even better, landing the Summer Stakes G3
at York as well as finishing third in the Land O'Burns
Fillies' Stakes L and in 2012 she was third in
the Cecil Frail Stakes L and the Kilvington
Fillies' Stakes L, before kicking off 2013
strongly by landing the all-weather Cleves Stakes L and
the Hever Sprint Stakes L and then the Summer
Stakes G3 yet again. In 2014 Ladies Are Forever
(by now six) took the Whitsbury Manor Stud Lansdown Fillies'
Stakes L at Bath and the Summer Stakes G3
for the third time and was also placed second in the
Garrowby Stakes L.
Bond is also a part-owner in his homebred Move In Time (Monsieur
Bond - Tibesti) who in 2010 was third in the Weatherbys Super
Sprint and second in the Cornwallis Stakes G3 before
landing the Rous Stakes L in 2011 as well as
being placed in the Sapphire Stakes G3, Prix Cor
de Chasse L, Scurry Stakes L and
the Abergwaun Stakes L, his 2013 got off to a
good start with victory in the £31,505 bet365 Handicap at
Doncaster, and finishing third in the Prix de
Saint-Georges G3 and Abernant
Stakes G3 whilst the following year he was
second in the Prix du Petit Couvert G3 and well
placed in a number of other decent races before coming good in
the Prix de l'Abbaye G1 to give the stud it's
first Group One winner. His 2015 campaign took a while to get
going, but he was third in the King George Stakes G2 before
landing the Prix du Petit Couvert G3 on Arc
Trials Weekend. Another good winner bred by Bond Thoroughbred's
at Yapham is the Mick Easterby trained Hoof It
(2007 Monsieur Bond - Forever Bond, sold as a foal for 6,000gns)
who has won nice races including the 2011 £62,250 Stewards' Cup
Handicap at Goodwood, only a week after winning the £32,345 Sky
Bet Dash at York, having won the £31,155 40% Better Off On
Betfair SP Handicap at Doncaster the year before. Later in 2011
he was third in the Beftred Sprint Cup G1 before
injury ruled him out for the rest of the season, he was then
lightly raced before staging a return to form when again third in
the Betfred Sprint Cup G1 of 2013. Still going
strong in 2016 he was second in the Scottish Stewards' Cup,
before landing Goodwood's Stewards' Sprint. Another good Monsieur
Bond homebred is the retained Alfred Hutchinson (2008 out of Chez
Charlie) who, trained by Geoff Oldroyd, has won
seven races to date including in 2014 the £28,012 Download The
Ladbrokes App Handicap at Lingfield and the 2015 Hambleton
Handicap L at York.
Reg Bond sadly passed away in March 2021 at the age of 77.

Ye Olde Mill House Stud
Yafforth Road, Romanby,
Northallerton, North Yorkshire
Owner: Umpleby family
Notes: Tom Umpleby died in March 2004 at the age
of 82. By this time he had been breeding racehorses for over 40
years, during which time he had bred over 100 winners, which is a
remarkable achievement given that he never had much more than two
mares at any one time. Over the years Umpleby had horses
in training with, amongst others, such well known Yorkshire
trainers as Jack Calvert and Bill Watts. At the time of his death
his trainer was Neville Bycroft, who trained over 20 winners for
him, the most recent of which was three times winner EB Pearl
(Timeless Times - Petite Elite), who was a full sibling of other
winners such as Christoperssister and Petite Mac, and a half
sister to three other winners inc.three times scorer
Effervescence (by Efisio). The best price achieved at the sales
in recent years was the 10,000gns for a yearling son of Timeless
Times and Petite Elite at Doncaster in 2000.
