About

Sharpen is a 4yo bay colt trained by G. Boughey in Newmarket. He is by Fastnet Rock out of Sheranda. To date he has recorded one victory. On 25 May 2025 at the Curragh he captured his biggest triumph, winning the £20,000 Carlisle R4 Betway Lester Piggott Fillies' Stakes (Fillies' and Mares' Group 3). The horse has been a profitable pick, delivering a 200% return for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
