“We think Ocovango has a lot in common with Flemensfirth, he’s a lovely big horse, a great colour and like Flemensfirth he was unbeaten at two, a Group winner over 10 furlongs and being by Monsun he’s an outcross for all the Sadler’s Wells-line mares.” Robert McCarthy, The Beeches Stud
“He’s got the ability, balance, the attitude, the breeding. He’s a serious horse” Champion trainer Andre Fabre
"everything looks in place for Ocovango to excel as a jumps sire" Racing Post
