Silverhill Freya (IRE)
Beaumec De Houelle (FR) x Playa Du Charmil (FR)
Trained by:
Tom Lacey
Stable Name: Freya
Gorgeous grey filly, from a high-class French family
Meet Freya — a stunning grey filly by the exceptional young French sire Beaumec De Houelle, combining eye‑catching looks with a deep, proven French National Hunt pedigree.
She is trained by Tom Lacey at Cottage Field Stables in Herefordshire. Tom has had an excellent record over the past few years. Last season (2025/26) he oversaw a 20% strike rate which is higher than the champion trainer Dan Skelton! In addition to that of his 178 runs 110 finished in the top 4! A remarkable 61.79% which is a staggering statistic for a smaller yard. The facilities at Cottage Field Stables are fantastic and include a 4F Woodchip hill gallop, 2f deep sand loop, 2f all weather schooling strip, 75 metre spring water walk, salt chamber with vibrating floor, loose school, menage and much more! Tom also prides himself on communication and has worked with several syndicates throughout his career.
She’s beautiful, she’s bred to be classy, her siblings are highly rated and she has the kind of French jumping page that keeps producing winners year after year. Greys always turn heads — and this filly does it effortlessly. Being so well related she also holds excellent residual value as a broodmare!
We’re thrilled to welcome her into the Emris Racing team and can’t wait to see what she becomes when run over a more favourable trip.

Bloodstock Agent comments
Jerry McGrath - "Silverhill Freya, lot 242 at the Goffs UK Spring HIT & PTP sale; she is a four-year-old daughter of Beaumec De Houelle, out of a Saint Des Saints mare. Obviously, Saint Des Saints is an incredibly good broodmare sire, which would include the likes of Jonbon and plenty of other good horses.
She's a likable filly and who doesn't like a grey? She's a good-sized filly, only four-year-old. She's had two educational runs in point-to-points in Ireland for Cormac Doyle, part of the Monbeg family. She showed plenty of ability. She's probably a filly that won’t be staying three miles, hence why she didn't probably stay in a point-to-point.
There's plenty of speed in the pedigree and she's a sister to a black type horse as well as three other winners. So yeah, she's an exciting recruit to have. Beaumec De Houelle is a sire I like myself, I’ve bought a few horses buy him and he's a horse that I think is going to keep doing better and better, especially when his stock come to the UK or Ireland because I do think as a son of Martaline, he appreciates a bit of nicer ground. Maybe while he hasn't had a blockbuster season in France on that softer ground, I do think coming to a bit nicer ground in the UK and Ireland will suit him much better. I think he's a sire that's going to go from strength to strength.
But yeah, she's a very likable filly, plenty of winners in the pedigree, plenty to run for her as well which is important from a broodmare point of view down the line but yeah the pedigree is jam-packed with black type French horses and like I said who doesn't love a grey".

Background
Freya was bred by Cherrymount Equine Farm Ltd based in County Waterford, Ireland. She was sold as a foal at the Tattersalls Ireland Febuary National Hunt sale for €7,500 to Conna Stud which is run by the family of Jimmy Mangan (Trainer of 2003 Grand National winner Monty's Pass) in Cork, Ireland.
Almost 2 1/2 years later Freya went back in the ring, this time the famous Goffs Arkle sale where she was entered in Part 2 and was purchased by the renowned Monbeg Stables for €20,000. Monbeg Stables is operated by the Doyle brothers and have produced several top names including Bravemansgame, Fact To File & Monkfish to name just a few.
Freya then entered training for PTP's. Her first run was in heavy ground where she was pulled up, her 2nd run was on good ground which she appeared to relish and looked the likely winner close to home before not staying and finishing 5th. Her pedigree suggests 3 miles would not be the optimum trip at this stage of her life and a drop in trip is in order.
Following these runs she was offered at the Goffs UK Spring (HIT & PTP) sale where she went unsold after realising €9,500 in the ring which was under her reserve.
We spotted this opportunity and were delighted to secure her privately after the sale.
