Romantic Warrior top of the charts
Hong Kong’s finest, the 2023 WS Cox Plate winner Romantic Warrior won his third successive Hong Kong Cup Gr1 in early December, taking his prizemoney to A$33,831,055, thus becoming the world’s highest ever prizemoney earner.
Romantic Warrior is by Acclamation out of the Street Cry mare Folk Melody, serving as yet another reminder of the growing influence of Machiavellian and his son Street Cry. Not so long ago, the wonderful Winx, by Street Cry was an earlier world prizemoney titleholder. Elsewhere in this issue reference is made to two leading sire sons of Acclamation, namely Dark Angel and Mehmas who are both out of Machiavellian mares. To underline the point, Ka Ying Rising, winner of the Gr1 Hong Kong Sprint on the same programme is arguably the best young sprinter in the world. He is by Shamexpress out of a mare by Per Incanto, an overachieving son of Street Cry.
Street Cry’s deeds as the sire of stars such as Winx, Zenyatta, Shocking, Street Boss, Street Sense, Pride Of Dubai among 23 individual Gr1 winners at a rate of almost 8.8% SW/R are certainly impressive.
However his broodmare sire record is even better with 28 individual Gr1 winners having already been produced by his daughters at an industry leading rate of 6.26% SW/R. To put this into perspective selected stallions with high percentages of SW/R as broodmare sires include, Galileo 7.49%, Sea The Stars 7.45%, O’Reilly 6.9%, Shamardal 6.71%, Street Cry, 6.26%, Zabeel 6.2% and Danehill 6.1%.

FRONT COVER: Cambridge Stud’s Gr1 winning Champion 2YO SWORD OF STATE (Snitzel – In The Vanguard by Encosta De Lago) will be represented by 36 first crop yearlings at NZB’s Karaka 2025 National Yearling Sale. These include five colts and two fillies in the Cambridge Stud draft itself.
Sword Of State is bred on a proven cross of two multiple champion Australian sires from a brilliant precocious stakes producing family.
His stellar race record of six wins from just 11 starts including four Group wins highlighted by the Gr1 ARC Diamond Stakes marks him as one of the brightest new stallion prospects to debut at Karaka in recent years.
The legendary vet Percy Sykes used to say,”Show me the best head and I’ll show you the best horse.” Our cover photo says it all about Sword Of State.

Elite 1088-Lot for Karaka 2025 Catalogue Unveiled
Hot on the heels of a recordbreaking Ready to Run Sale, the cream of New Zealand’s yearling crop has been revealed for Karaka 2025. The world renowned week of selling in late January is the shop window for the thoroughbred talent that New Zealand produces, and that trend is set to continue with world class catalogues unveiled. The 99th National Yearling Sales Series will take place at Karaka from Sunday 26 January to Thursday 30 January. The catalogues, which are now available to view online, contain an outstanding selection of 661 yearlings in Book 1 and another 427 in Book 2.
“Of all the sales in Australasia this year, Karaka saw the biggest increase in average, turnover and median. That was really encouraging,” commented NZB’s Managing Director Andrew Seabrook. The 2024 sale had 758 yearlings sell for an aggregate of NZ$92,322,500, an increase of over 12 per cent on 2023. The combined average rose from NZ$110,424 in 2023 to NZ$121,797
in 2024 and the median increased from NZ$80,000 to NZ$87,500. “We’re also incredibly proud of the New Zealand bred and Karaka graduate results over the last twelve months.”
Headlined by last season’s Champion 2YO in New Zealand Velocious (Written Tycoon) and this season’s Gr1 NZ 2000 Guineas winner Savaglee (NZ) (Savabeel), the current crop of three year-old graduates of the NZB National Yearling Sale include impressive Group winners Bellatrix Star (Star Witness), Aeliana (NZ) (Castelvecchio), He’s Lucid (NZ) (Contributer), Linebacker (NZ) (Super Seth), and So Naïve (NZ) (U S Navy Flag). The Sale has also already produced Listed winners Archaic Smile (Saxon Warrior), Beau Dazzler (NZ) (Ardrossan), Discretion Rules (Alabama Express), Imperialist (Churchill), Keeneland (NZ) (Almanzor), Lilac (Justify), Opening Address (NZ) (So You Think), Poetic Champion (NZ) (Super Seth), and Super Photon (NZ) (Super Seth).
LINEBACKER by
Super Seth is a $160K Karaka graduate who has developed into one of Australia’s top performers as a Gr3 winner and Gr2 placed earner of over $370K from his first 5 starts.
Linebacker’s co-trainer John O’Shea purchased him with Suman Hedge Bloodstock in 2023 for NZ$160,000 from Haunui Farm, and Linebacker won at two on debut, then won the Group Three TL Baillieu Handicap at his second start before finishing his juvenile season with a second to Champion two yearold Broadsiding in the Gr1 Champagne Stakes. This season at three, he’s run fourth in the Group Two Run To The Rose and sixth in the Group One Golden Rose. “It’s a great value sale, and New Zealand horses have a fantastic record winning major races here despite not having big numbers. We really enjoy the Sale and have had good results at a reasonable value,” said O’Shea. “Linebacker was the year of the floods. We try to buy 10-15 a year there, and he was a standout of his year. If you end up with a Group One quality horse like Linebacker, then it’s been a good trip. We haven’t run a lot of the three year-olds (we bought) yet. There’s a nice Pierro still to come and a couple of Ocean Parks. We try to buy those horses
that train on at five and six with 30 or more starts. I go there to buy sound reliable horses that will train on. If they can get to open company, they’ll earn $500-800 thousand which is great.”
The pedigrees contained in the catalogues for Karaka 2025 have all the right credentials for many more names to be added to that list. There are siblings to superstars such as Lucky Sweynesse, Orchestral, Prowess, Velocious, Pasadena Girl (NZ) (Savabeel), Icebath (NZ) (Sacred Falls) and Ruthless Dame (NZ) (Tavistock), along with Australian up and comers Gringotts (NZ) (Per Incanto), Globe (NZ) (Charm Spirit), Aeliana (NZ) (Castelvecchio) and Powers Of Opal (NZ) (Ocean Park).
There are also first foals from the likes of star racemares Two Illicit (NZ) (Jimmy Choux), Zayydani (NZ) (Savabeel) and House Of Cartier (Alamosa), plus progeny of other Group One winners such as Bonneval (NZ) (Makfi), Jennifer Eccles (Rip Van Winkle) and more. Over 100 sires are represented in the catalogues, from big names like Savabeel, Proisir, I Am Invincible, Frankel, Almanzor, Per Incanto, Satono Aladdin and Snitzel to a big line up of first season stallions with New Zealand-based Sword Of State, Noverre (NZ), Armory and The Chosen One (NZ) to debut.
The week of Karaka 2025 is set to kick off in style at Ellerslie Racecourse on Saturday 25 January with the famous
TAB Karaka Millions raceday, now worth more than $5 million in prizemoney and headlined by the $1m TAB Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m) and $1.5m TAB Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m) for graduates.
That will be followed by Book 1, which runs from Sunday 26 January to Tuesday 28 January with selling starting at 10am each day. The first day of Book 2 will start at 12pm on Wednesday 29 January and continues at 10am the following day on Thursday 30 January.
For the first time ever NZB has combined both Book 1 and Book 2 into one physical catalogue.
“Although they still remain separate Sales, it was a request made at a post sales vendor meeting earlier this year, so we thought it was worth doing and advantageous from a marketing perspective to have just one catalogue,” added Seabrook.
“After the record breaking Ready to Run Sale, we are looking forward to seeing that momentum roll into Karaka 2025. Our team will be busy establishing the best buying bench possible from all markets.”
All yearlings purchased at Karaka 2025 are eligible for the Karaka Millions Series including the new NZB Mega Maiden Series which sees horses racing for an additional $1m in bonuses across 40 maiden races each season in New Zealand.

Stallion Profile Per Incanto (USA)
There is great affection in Sam Williams’ voice when he talks about the stallions he has worked with and one of those very special horses is current Little Avondale Stud star Per Incanto.
One of Street Cry’s 20 stakes producing sons, Per Incanto is one of those horses whose name just keeps popping up in results and not only is he a highly successful sire (his fee rising from $4,000 to $50,000), he is a much loved character.
And one who holds a special place in Williams’ heart after they took a challenging journey together. Injuring himself after rolling under a fence last year, Per Incanto (the horse affectionally known as “P.I” which fans of 1980’s American television will appreciate) required surgery with a tumour developing in the wound.
At the same time Williams was diagnosed with throat cancer. Whilst undergoing treatment and getting through the recovery stage, Williams
asked his friend Gary Mudgway to come over to manage the horses through this difficult time.
“One day Gary said to me, ‘what’s with Magnum? I just can’t get him to walk, he pulls so hard on me and he is so strong. I’d lost a lot of weight,” Williams recalled, knowing he was not at full strength but keen to see how Per Incanto was faring. As soon as Williams took over, Per Incanto relaxed. “He just walked for me,” he said, looking back somewhat in awe that the horse knew what his master needed at that time.
“There is an amazing relationship between humans and animals,” Williams said, grateful to Per Incanto for that time; “doing our rehab together. I have been privileged to work with horses like Carolingian who had a wonderful temperament and Towkay who was a gentleman and Per Incanto is another lovely horse, we just hit it off from the start.”
Though Per Incanto’s early days at the stud did present some challenges, the
young horse at the time “showing no interest in the mares but once he got going he really knew how to do his job.”
Though his job, Williams laughed, comes second to his other great passion.
“He loves his food more than his mares!” he said. Williams is proud of the progress Per Incanto has made, noting that “he has an uncanny ability to upgrade his mares.”
“Only a handful of New Zealand stallions stand at his sort of fee and once they get to that mark they get the better mares and that has been the case for Per Incanto over the last three years.”
Which gives everyone at Little Avondale plenty to look forward to considering the job Per Incanto has done whilst standing at lower fees.
“He had a wonderful spring,” Williams said, “and we knew heading in that he was going to with the likes of Gringotts, Belclare, Jimmysstar and Evaporate going so well.” Williams thoroughly enjoyed the spring carnivals in Melbourne and Sydney. “I was finding myself excited by every Tuesday
A depth of Kiwi talent
They are tough. They are brave. And they get results. Kiwi thoroughbreds have an innate depth of quality to them – drawn from the land, from the people and from the bloodlines unique to New Zealand. They’re just built differently.
Tap into the well of Kiwi talent at Karaka 2025.
and glued to the television on the Saturdays!” To have the progeny of Per Incanto involved in those races was very special.” Williams first laid eyes on Per Incanto in the UK where, after winning five of his first eight starts including the Premio Tudini-Gr3, 1200m in Italy, he had been purchased by Shadwell Stud having been named the Joint Champion 3YO Sprinter in Italy.
“Angus Gold had picked up on his form early,” Williams said. “He was a very fast horse who could post times.
Unfortunately he struck wet tracks in England and after winning his first start in America he was injured whilst getting ready for the Breeders Cup.”
Per Incanto instantly impressed, Williams recalling that “straight away I said to Bruce Perry, ‘we have to secure this horse.’” One thing in the back of Williams’ mind was that Per Incanto’s half-brother Patapan (Italian Joint Champion Older Sprinter) was already in New Zealand and not faring well. We just had to get away from that, I just said ‘well Danehill had some dud brothers as well, this one can be the champion!’”
And that he has been, Per Incanto starring in New Zealand, Australia and Hong Kong; in the latter earning the titles of Champion Sire and leading sire of winners.
He was the New Zealand Champion First and Second Season Sire by winners and, in 2015/16, the leading sire of three yearolds by winners, ahead of Savabeel.
Since then he has consistently featured amongst the leading sires, fourth last
season behind Savabeel, Proisir and Tavistock; placing him in elite company. He has maintained a winners-to-runners strike race in excess of 65% with 31 of his 401 winners being stakes winners.
And there are some extra smart ones, the likes of the Group 1 winners Belclare, Roch ‘N’ Horse, Shadows Cast, Little Brose, Dal Cielo, Santa Monica, Lost And Running and Bonham.

is known for his ability to sire tough campaigners who can give their owners fun over a number of seasons. Belclare and Shadows Cast for example, have won 25 races between them and of his 31 stakes winners, 25 have won at least four races.
He has been a great stallion for sellers as well, being the leading New Zealand based sire by average ($310,000) at the 2024 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale whilst his Karaka Book 1 average was $170,000.

The Global Allure of the Karaka Experience
Labelled as ‘the best week on the sales calendar,’ NZB’s National Yearling Sales Series is truly a unique experience over five action packed days of selling, opened by the biggest raceday on the calendar with the TAB Karaka Millions Raceday.
Serving as a perfect curtain raiser to Karaka 2025, the high octane race meeting features a total stake more than $5 million, headed by the $1m TAB Karaka Millions 2YO (1200m) and the $1.5m TAB Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m) for graduates, plus the $1m Elsdon Park Aotearoa Classic (1600m), and now the addition of the $700,000 Group One Railway (1200m), at the new and improved Ellerslie Racecourse on Saturday.
The following day, the first of over 1088 of the very best yearlings New Zealand has to offer will go under the hammer in the Sir Patrick Hogan auditorium at the renowned Karaka Sales Centre. Not only is the event marked as the source of future racetrack champions, but it also makes for an incredible experience.
First and foremost, the DoubleTree by Hilton Karaka hotel is set within the picturesque grounds of NZB’s Karaka Sales Centre.
Boasting 122 guest rooms, the hotel includes two one bedroom suites and an expansive Presidential Suite, as well as an impressive swimming pool and outdoor bar, a large
gym, a signature Horseshoe Barand Ethereal Artisan Kitchen and generous entertaining areas with two large outdoor fireplaces.
For a mouth-watering meal, the Ethereal Restuarant at the DoubleTree by Hilton Karaka Hotel is the perfect place to indulge after a day at the Sale, with signature Karaka cocktails flowing at the Horseshoe Bar.
There is an array of hospitality options available onsite for sale enthusiasts to experience. One of the unique aspects of the Karaka experience is the vendor’s lavish hospitality marquees for entertaining and catering to clients. Enjoy a wide and varied range of gourmet delicacies and Kiwi favourites while getting to know the people behind the studs.
Attendees can head out to the front lawn, next to the outdoor parade ring, and grab yourself a coffee from the barista window. For a café style menu and an extensive selection of beverages, the Karaka Garden Bar can be found on the ground level. If you are short on time, snack items and sweet treats are located on the first level at the Tulloch Café and NZB welcomes all registered buyers to enjoy the Phar Lap Room on sale days.
Auckland’s inner city restaurant scene offers an abundance of dining options founded on the use quality, fresh produce and multi-
cultural influences. New Zealand’s City of Sails delivers on great expectations of mouth watering cuisine and energetic nightlife.
Offering peak drinking and dining experiences, this district is home to Ahi, Bar Albert, Headquarters, Bossi and Daphne’s, providing convivial atmospheres while celebrating local produce and Kiwi hospitality.
Of course, the classics still have their place, with Bivacco, Origine, Café Hanoi, and Masu celebrated for their impeccable service, delicious food and unbeatable ambience.
City fine dining aside there are plenty of quality restaurants surrounding the Karaka Sales Centre in South Auckland. If you fancy a quick trip from NZB for a delectable meal, you may want to consider Ethereal Artisan Kitchen at the DoubleTree by Hilton Karaka hotel, or local favourites IZU and Volare.
Back at Karaka once horses arrive onsite, the grounds are teeming with buyer inspections and parades. NZB will offer its airport transfer and courtesy car service during the Sale, as well as an array of hospitality options across the complex. From ham sandwiches to fresh oysters, ice cold beer, or a crisp glass of champagne, these are just a few of the elements that make up The Karaka Experience.
Barry Donoghue Mover & Shaker
Barry Donoghue arrived in New Zealand a decade ago as a jumps jockey and now runs his own education and preparation business BMD Bloodstock. They sold a Toronado colt at the recent NZB Ready To Run Sales for NZ$625,000, which was a massive result for only their second draft at this sale. To add to his exciting spring, Barry bred Listed Cranbourne Cup winner Globe (Charm Spirit-Bonnie Doon, by Don Eduardo).
What was your entry into horse racing?
“I started out with Dot Love riding eventing horses in Ireland, and along with event rider Joseph Murphy and his twin brother Ciaran, who was a trainer, they gave me the best grounding possible. Dot transformed into racing and they schooled all of the Gigginstown House Stud’s horses, one of the biggest National Hunt operations in Ireland. We broke in Cheltenham Gold Cup winner War Of Attrition.” Dot Love was a high-level equestrian rider who rode at events such as Burghley and Badminton in the 1980s and 90s. She got her trainers’ licence in 2001 and largely trained National Hunt horses, even winning her own race, the Dot Love Happy Retirement Ladies Handicap Hurdle with Flindt (Most Improved-Aries Ballerina, by Peintre Celebre) on her final day as a trainer in 2021.
“I’m not really from a racing family. My grandad was the field master at the Westmeath Hunt, so we had that connection with horses.”
How did you get involved with educating horses?
“I came to New Zealand in 2013, riding as a jumps jockey and I worked for Kilgravin Lodge for five years, then moved around a bit working for good young horsemen like Chad Ormsby. Injury prevented me from riding, so that’s when I started the business. Before that I was in Australia. I worked for Rick Worthington, who is sadly passed now, and
we did most of the breaking for the Ingham’s. Then I worked for Julien Welsh and did a bit of schooling for Eric Musgrove and Matt Leek.”
“At BMD Bloodstock, I educate young horses, and we bring some to the Ready To Run Sale. It’s predominantly two-year-old sales, but I do breed one or two and try to sell them as yearlings if they are good enough.” Donoghue is selling an Ace High colt, Lot 494, from Bonnie Doon at the 2025 NZB National Yearling Sale through Cambria Park, whose Fraser Jones owns half the colt.
“I’ve just taken my trainers’ licence to train any horses we don’t sell. We source our Ready To Run horses as pinhookers, both foals and yearlings. Apart from a Hanseatic we bought in Melbourne this year, we’ve bought only local horses so far, but all going well, we’ll head to Inglis Classic this year.”
Can you tell us about any recent successes?
“I rode a bit over the jumps and had some success there. “Now I’ve started the business and I have a great team around me. I think you are only as good as your team. Last year was our first Ready To Run draft with 100% clearance. It was a good sale for all our clients.” In 2023, BMD Bloodstock sold all eleven of the horses they took to the Ready To Run Sale and in 2024, they improved their average from the first year to NZ$106,000, including the NZ$625,000 Toronado colt. What do you look for when buying pinhooks?
“Value, first. I want a horse that I can improve into the Ready To Run Sale, not necessarily a backward type, but often I’ll buy later foals as they get a bit more time to develop. They have to pass all the fashion stuff, like being commercial and have good x-rays, so it’s about improvement or value from there. Getting $625,000 for the Toronado colt was a massive result for our team and our clients.”
Which horses have given you the most satisfaction?
“They all do, really, especially the ones where you put your neck on the line. I bred Globe six years ago and he won a Cranbourne Cup last week. That’s brilliant, I don’t breed many, so breeding a black type horse is awesome. Hopefully he keeps going. Unfortunately I lost the mare this year. His sister, Co Co Van Winkle is a very nice horse too.” She has won three races in Victoria this year.
Do you have any favourite stallions?
“Not really, I don’t like to play favourites. There are a lot of nice stallions around. I’ve been lucky pinhooking with a lot of variety of stallions. When pinhooking, the stallion needs to be fashionable when we sell them, so we have to pay attention. It’s very important.”
Who have your mentors been?
“Dot and Ciaran Murphy were good people in Ireland, super horsemen. My uncle as well, when I was younger. My parents are very supportive of me. In New Zealand, I’ve had a lot of help from lots of different people.” What was the best piece of advice you’ve been given?
“Take your time. Work hard. Don’t rush.” What advice would you give to a young person wanting to be involved in racing?
“If you’ve got a love and passion for horses, go for it. Work hard and set goals for yourself on the way.”
How do you relax away from work?
“I hardly get away from the horses. I’m going to Ireland for a while now, for a couple of weeks. We’ve got 40 acres here in New Zealand, and I enjoy the pasture management work, like topping and fencing to get a break from the horses. But more so I don’t have to pay someone else to do it, to be fair.”
Personality Profile Nicky White
The story of Nicky White is a tale of a person and her love of horses. There has not been a time when they have not been an integral part of her life. She grew up around them, she took one to university with her, she made sure her children were raised with horses in their life. She shares her passion for them with her husband Nick as she did with her father Dick Stevenson. Which is why venturing into the world of selling, racing and breeding thoroughbreds made perfect sense; hence the birth of Kaha Nui Farm.
It was five years ago that Nicky and Nick White, after inspecting land at Mystery Creek in the Waikato district, turned to each other and said “there is something about this place, let’s have a crack.” And so the dream began, the couple buying the property despite the lack of a house, “putting in the hard yards” turning the farm into a home and putting into place the infrastructure required to raise high class thoroughbreds.
With Kaha Nui meaning “great strength” it seemed an apt name with Nicky in awe of how well all species of flora and fauna grow and thrive at the farm. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” she enthused. “Everything grows here, the grass, the trees, the animals.” With its sandy loam, free draining soil, Kaha Nui Farm is perfect pasture for horses and is currently home to horses on agistment as well as a selection of regally related
youngsters being prepared for the major yearling sales.
The Whites have been active at weaning sales over the past couple of years, pinhooking the mainstay of their business at this stage.
And they have enjoyed early success. Such as with the yet to race Field Of Play, the Deep Field colt purchased in 2023 at the Inglis Sydney Weanling Sale for $255,000 and sold on to Jamie Richards and Andrew Williams Bloodstock for $500,000 at Karaka.
As well as Te Akau Racing’s Sibling Rivalry, a $65,000 New Zealand Bloodstock Weanling Sale purchase by Satono Aladdin secured by David Ellis for $220,000 back at Karaka as a yearling. One already racing in the Te Akau colours is Belle du Monde, a Zoustar filly who ran a nice Ellerslie second at her spring debut. She was $220,000 in Sydney, sold for $400,000 at Karaka.
Nicky admits to a few sentimental moments at sales when parting with such youngsters, noting that is only natural to grow attached to them. And she is happy to wipe away a tear or two... “it is about caring about what you are doing, the horse is the whole reason for all of it.”
Animals, she said, make “us better human beings,” something she and Nick always had in mind when raising their three children amongst dogs and horses and they now see the fruits of this with their family sharing their
passion. “I call my family my ‘A-team’,” Nicky said; “it is so special to do all of this with them.” A real estate agent specializing in high end properties, White has been working hard for decades and a major part of the family involvement with horses is to start taking a step back from that, “to make room for more fun in our lives.”
“I’ve had a great career but it’s time to ease up a fraction and enjoy the horses more.”
A lesson learned from her father Dick who, after working the family’s large sheep and cattle farm following on from his early working days spent on stations, decided to move to the beach and train horses. “He took out his owner/trainer licence and that was the last 20 years of his life. I am so grateful that he got to enjoy that,” Nicky said, proud of her father’s 75 winners.
And grateful for the memories she has of that time, helping with the pre-trainers, riding trackwork. And all the time increasing her knowledge of and love for horses on the back of a childhood that saw her and her family doing everything themselves. “We broke all own horses in, did our own farrier work. Dad loved polo as well and I did a bit of eventing and show jumping.” Nicky also broke in, trained and sold on ponies for the show world, enjoying great success including the preparation of one filly who went on to success in Europe before producing five champions.
With this background it is not surprising that Nicky is making such a success of Kaha Nui. She does her research for the sales and has an eye for the athlete with scope for improvement. “I have always loved looking at animals, the way they move,” she said, “seeing their health, their balance, their proportion.” She remembers going to Pukekohe races the day her father had his first runner, aptly named Dad’s Girl. “We had not an absolute clue about what we were doing!” she laughed.
A nasty accident whilst riding set Nicky back for some time; she was seriously unwell with what we now know as post concussive syndrome; “something we just didn’t know about then, I don’t think I realised at the time how sick I was, you just had to get on with things.” With her family on her side, Nicky got better.
It was 18 years ago, when looking for a property that she expressed frustration in regards to real estate agents not listening to what she wanted. “Nick said to me, well you love property and you love people why don’t to give it a go? He really encouraged me and I never looked back.”
Nick, who Nicky met “on the rugby field,” is also a high achiever, enjoying a successful rugby union career that led to coaching. The couple, who celebrated their 25th anniversary in January, were “mates” at first and still are! “Nick had ridden horses, he was raised on a dairy farm and he came to Ruakaka to help dad and I.”
And so Kaha Nui is a shared passion and it has been a thrilling rush for the couple. “It has been a lot of fun, a rapid journey creating the brand. I am really, really fortunate that the family enjoy it has much as I do.”
Describing the pinhooking process as taking “educated risks,” Nicky has always been big on quality over quantity.
“We buy the best stock we can get hold of,” she said, proud when bloodstock agents visit the farm and note that “all your horses are great movers.” The first horses through the Kaha Nui system are beginning their racing careers and Nicky can’t wait to see how they go. “We are so excited about following them,” she said, noting that she and Nick derive great enjoyment from the months before the sales. “We really enjoy that part of their career, we love that stage of their lives. Seeing them develop as we gently develop their muscles at crucial stages, I think that stands them in great stead as racehorses.”
With Kaha Nui meaning "great strength" it seemed an apt name with Nicky in awe of how well all species of flora and fauna grow and thrive at the farm. "I've never seen anything like it," she enthused. "Everything grows here, the grass, the trees, the animals."
Treating each horse as the individual they are, the Whites are happy to keep the occasional horse whilst also taking shares in others.
One of those is the exciting Return To Conquer, a Snitzel colt purchased by Te Akau for $1.3 million at the 2024 Magic Millions and who at his debut was an impressively easy winner of the Challenge Stakes-Listed, 1100m at Pukekohe Park in late November. As well as the Manawatu Sires Produce Stakes-Gr1, 1400m winner Move To Strike, another Te Akau horse; a $525,000 purchase at the 2023 Magic Millions. A couple of lovely fillies have also been retained, one
by Capitalist in work with Stephen Marsh as well as Sparking Joy who Nicky was so excited to secure for $250,000 at the Strawberry Hill Stud dispersal sale.
“She was a late addition to our list,” she said, not at first thinking that such a well bred filly would be obtainable. “But blow me down, we were lucky enough to get her,” she said of the Frankel half-sister to the dual Group 3 winner
The Elanora out of a daughter of Tuesday Joy. Nicky hopes Sparking Joy will be a special horse for Kaha Nui, both on the track and as a broodmare prospect.
Meanwhile she is looking forward to the career of another even more special horse, a son of Embellish and the last member of a family cultivated by her father. “We’ve named him Charli’s Boy after our daughter who rode horses with my father, he got all of our kids into riding, something we are very grateful for.”
Nicky looks forward to Kaha Nui Farm’s future, recently leasing (with a view to purchase) the neighbouring property whilst hoping to travel the world and have a look at the great studs and stallions overseas.
She and Nick made a recent trip to the Hunter Valley, appreciating how well hosted they were by the likes of Arrowfield Stud and Newgate Farm. “We are meeting so many wonderful people through our involvement with horses and we are having so much fun.”
She loved inspecting the stallions, noting that she has a particular affection for I Am Invincible.
“I have a lovely photo with him, he is such a dude!”

Tap Into the Well at Karaka 2025 of Kiwi Talent
ATISHU by Savabeel is a wonderful advertisement for the New Zealand breeding industry and Karaka Yearling Sale having parlayed her 260K purchase price into 3 Gr.1 victories and over 5.6 million.
They are tough. They are brave. And they get results. Kiwi thoroughbreds have an innate depth of quality to them drawn from the land, from the people and from the bloodline unique to New Zealand. New Zealand’s climate and pristine countryside provides a natural advantage as a breeding ground of thoroughbred excellence, and blockbuster performances by Kiwi-bred horses on major stages across Australasia and Asia in recent times have given ample reason for buyers from around the world to converge on New Zealand Bloodstock’s Karaka 2025 Yearling Sale in January. While staying excellence has traditionally been considered New Zealand’s strength, that trend has been bucked by a series of elite sprinters and milers. Ka Ying Rising (NZ) (Shamexpress) and Lucky Sweynesse (NZ) (Sweynesse) have been two of the brightest sprinting talents to grace Hong Kong’s turf in recent years. 75% of all Australian Group Ones races at 1600m this season have been won by New Zealand thoroughbreds. In the hotly contested Melbourne and Sydney Spring carnivals, there have been Group One mile victories by Kiwi breds and Karaka graduates Atishu (NZ) (Savabeel), Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars), Ceolwulf (NZ) (Tavistock) and Antino (NZ) (Redwood) in the last few weeks.
Atishu has been an extraordinary Karaka success story. Syndicators Go Racing bought her for $260,000 from Waikato Stud’s Book 1 draft of Karaka 2019, and she has turned that price tag into more than A$5.6m in prize money. The remarkable mare has had 47 starts for 11 wins and 16 placings, and one of the hallmarks of her career has been her continued improvement with age. All of her three Group One victories to date have come since the autumn of her five year-old season – the Queen Of The Turf Stakes (1600m), the Champions Stakes (2000m) and this season’s Empire Rose Stakes (1600m). She has placed in another five Group One races.
Meanwhile on home soil, an exciting new talent has emerged in the form of Savaglee (NZ) (Savabeel). The colt was bought by The Oaks Stud for $400,000 from Book 1 of Karaka 2023 and has had five starts as a three year-old this season for four wins including the Group One New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m), Group Two Sarten Memorial (1400m) and Group Two Hawke’s Bay Guineas (1400m). Savaglee has earned $744,975 in stakes. Last season’s champion New Zealand three year-old Orchestral (NZ) (Savabeel) was a $625,000 purchase from Karaka 2022 and strung together stunning victories in last season’s $1.5m TAB Karaka Millions 3YO (1600m), Group One New Zealand Derby (2400m), and Sydney’s Group
Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m). She has earned more than $2.1m.
Other high class Group One winners to come out of the National Yearling Sales Series in the last few years include Legarto (NZ) (Proisir), Prowess (NZ) (Proisir), Grail Seeker (NZ) (Iffraaj), Campionessa (NZ) (Contributer), Desert Lightning (NZ) (Pride Of Dubai), Warmonger (NZ) (War Decree) and Velocious (Written Tycoon).
Australian bred UK based agent Stuart Boman’s next trip back to Australasia will centre on the National Yearling Sale at Karaka in late January. “What I view as a strength is the New Zealand bred horses is an organic product that offers a bit more stamina than other bloodlines in this part of the world. New Zealand has a lot going for it and it’s great to see the upsurge in their racing that’s been created in recent times,” he added. “I think we saw that at the recent Ready to Run Sale, and while it makes my job harder being able to buy the horse I want, it’s got to be a good thing.”
Karaka 2025 kicks off with the Book 1 session from Sunday 26 January to Tuesday 28 January with selling starting at 10am each day. The first day of Book 2 will start at 12pm on Wednesday 29 January and continues at 10am the following day on Thursday 30 January.
A Selection of First Season Sires
Armory
(Galileo-After, by Danehill Dancer)
Stands at Mapperley Stud for NZ$10,000+GST
Noverre
(Savabeel-Magic Dancer, by Rip Van Winkle)
Savabeel has been an outstanding stallion in New Zealand for many years with multiple champion sire titles, and now his sons are beginning to mark the start of a legacy for him. Noverre began by making headlines as a yearling, selling to Te Akau Racing for NZ$800,000 which made him the most expensive yearling sold by Waikato Stud that year.
He won a trial as a pre-Christmas two year-old, debuting in January with a second placing before winning at his next start. After a disappointing run in Listed company, he was sent out to spell, returning at three in a campaign that progressed towards the Guineas. On the way, he won the Gr3 War Decree Stakes before looking unlikely in the Gr1 Two Thousand Guineas when at the back of the field turning into the straight. Not only was Noverre last, but he was trapped behind a wall of horses and had to swing out wide to go around the field before sprinting home to win in a ‘freakish’ performance.
Champion 3YO in Ireland, Armory combines an outstanding race record with a deep pedigree. Trained by Aidan O’Brien, he debuted at two with a third placing over 1450m, before winning at his next start. He then strung two group wins together in the Gr3 Tyros Stakes and Gr2 Curragh Futurity Stakes, before being set the hardest test in the Gr1 National Stakes where he ran second to Champion 2YO Pinatubo. Sent to France, he ran third in the Gr1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere over a mile and second in the Gr1 Critérium International over 1400m to finish his juvenile season with three wins and four placings from seven starts.
At three, he resumed in the Gr1 Irish Two Thousand Guineas with a fourth, then was fourth in the Gr1 Tattersalls Gold Cup before winning the Gr3 Royal Whip Stakes. Placed in the Gr1 Irish Champion Stakes to Champion race mare Magical, O’Brien sent him to Australia where he ran second in the Gr1 WS Cox Plate before heading back to Europe.
He trained on at four to add the Gr2 Huxley Stakes and place in the Gr1 Royal Ascot Prince of Wales’s Stakes, proving himself as a high class racehorse who was competitive against the best in Europe.
Retired to stud due to a ligament issue, Noverre joined his sire at Waikato Stud and covered a full book resulting in 78 first crop foals which are now yearlings.
Dual Gr1 winner Savabeel has 145 stakes winners and counting with sons like Embellish and Cool Aza Beel at stud. Embellish, who also won the Gr1 NZ Two Thousand Guineas, has two stakes winners from his first couple of crops, while Cool Aza Beel began his career with a debutant juvenile winner Cool Aza Rene this season from his first crop. Noverre’s first two dams are two year-olds stakes winners. His dam, Magic Dancer (Rip Van Winkle) won the Gr3 Taranaki Classic at two, while his granddam Dazzling Belle (Desert Sun) won five races at two including the Listed Welcome Stakes.
Noverre has 43 yearlings in the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale, and 2 in the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.
A son of multiple Champion Sire Galileo, Armory carries an unusual cross 2mx5f to Sadler’s Wells. Galileo’s record as a sire of sires in well documented thanks to Frankel, Teofilo, New Approach, Australia, Nathaniel, Rip Van Winkle, Churchill, and many others. Sadler’s Wells influence in New Zealand is broad particularly through High Chaparral and Montjeu.
As expected from a Galileo, Armory has a deep female pedigree. His dam, After (Danehill Dancer) won at two and was four-times stakes placed as well as running fourth in the Gr1 Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (French 1000 Guineas). She has also produced Listed winner Subsequent (Galileo). After is a half-sister to Listed winner Temps Au Temps (Invincible Spirit) who ironically ran fourth in the Gr1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains (French 2000 Guineas). The family goes back to triple Gr1 winner Wandesta (Nashwan).
Of his 78 first crop foals, 33 will be offered at the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale.
Sword Of State
(Snitzel-In The Vanguard, by Encosta de Lago)
Stands at Cambridge Stud for NZ$15,000+GST
Sword Of State stood out from the very beginning, as a $600,000 purchase by Te Akau at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale. He immediately showed ability, winning on debut as a pre-Christmas two-year-old, then ran third to a filly who became one of the best sprinters in Australia, Imperatriz. Sword Of State won his next three in succession including the Gr1 Sistema Stakes to finish his juvenile season as the winner of four of his five starts and was crowned Champion 2YO in NZ. His win in the Gr1 Sistema Stakes was one of professionalism. He jumped well, sat on the fence, leading all the way, and sprinted clear of his stablemate
On The Bubbles to win by over three lengths. On The Bubbles won the Gr1 Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes at her next start.
He trained on at three to add two Gr3 wins and came to Australia for the Gr3 Gold Coast Guineas where he ran second. An injury led to his retirement to Cambridge Stud where
he was embraced by breeders and has 76 foals in his first crop.
A son of Australia’s multiple Champion Sire Snitzel whose legacy is assured with sons like Shamus Award, Russian Revolution, and many young sires in the making such as Sword Of State, Switzerland, Shinzo, and In The Congo. Snitzel’s pair of Golden Slipper winners, Shinzo and Estijaab, showcase his position as a sire of good two year-olds.
Sword Of State gains his precocity from both sides, as his dam In The Vanguard (Encosta De Lago) was a winner at two and placed in the Gr2 Sweet Embrace S. Her dam, Sharp, won the Gr2 Light Fingers S. and this is the family of recent Listed winner Discretion Rules.
With 36 yearlings to inspect in the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale, Sword Of State is one of Aotearoa’s most exciting young sire prospects. Sword Of State also has 1 yearling in the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.

Stands at Widden Stud for $19,800
Tough, honest, sound, and “a pleasure to train”, The Chosen One brings pedigree and class at a great value price, and if his yearlings show similar attributes, he won’t stay at this value place for long.
A winner on debut as a spring three year-old, The Chosen One won the Listed Zacinto Stakes at his second start. After a group win in the autumn, he travelled to Australia where he ran fourth in the Gr1 Australian Derby and won the Gr3 Frank Packer Plate. At four he added the Gr2 Herbert Power Stakes and ran second in the Gr1 Sydney Cup, and third in the Gr1 Caulfield Cup, but his real talent was at shorter distances.
Brought back to the mile, he won the Gr1 Thorndon Mile, and added more Gr1 placings to his record, to retire with seven wins and 13 placings from 43 starts with earnings over $2 million. Despite this, The Chosen One retired to Hallmark Stud in 2022
and had a small book with only 25 live foals, before moving to The Oaks Stud in 2023 where he had more support covering 80 mares in his second season.
Beautifully bred, The Chosen One is by Champion sire Savabeel whose Australian Gr1 winners also include the likes of I Wish I Win, Orchestral, Mo’Unga, Probabeel, Lucia Valentina, Atishu and Major Beel.
From the Dennis brother’s wonderful “The” family, The Chosen One is closely related to Gr1 NZ 1000 Guineas winner The Perfect Pink. His dam, The Glitzy One (Flying Spur) was an excellent race mare, winning eight races and being multiple times stakes placed. She is a daughter of Champion 3YO Filly The Jewel who is the dam of four stakes horses. The Chosen One has seven yearlings in the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale.

Cambridge success continues into 2025
The rewards of continued investment have been satisfyingly evident in the last 12 months for Brendan and Jo Lindsay’s Cambridge Stud. A judicious breeding program combined with a never-ending emphasis on improving broodmare quality through racing well-credentialled fillies and sales recruits have laid the foundation for ongoing success.
The Lindsays purchased the famed nursery in 2018 and, with a respectful nod to the past, set about a course of building on the nursery’s proud history and industrychanging endeavours of the late Sir Patrick and Justine Lady Hogan. Racetrack results
are a measuring guide of any breeding establishment and Cambridge Stud has enjoyed a past year to savour.
Leading the celebrations have been homebreds and star Australian performers Ceolwulf and El Castello. The former, a son of late resident sire Tavistock, was runnerup last term in the Rosehill Guineas-Gr1 and Australian Derby-Gr1 before returning for a glorious spring four year-old campaign.
Under trainer Joseph Pride’s guidance, he completed an impressive Randwick double by landing top honours in the Epsom HandicapGr1 and King Charles III Stakes-Gr1. The
Anthony Cummings-prepared El Castello also bloomed in the spring to reel off four wins on the bounce, culminating in victory in the Spring Champion Stakes-Gr1.
“We’re very lucky that Brendan and Jo have made a huge investment, particularly on the bloodstock side in the last four or five years and every year we go along the quality of our broodmares increases,” Sales and Nominations Manager Scott Calder said.
“We are reaping the rewards and we’ve had a fantastic spring with two headline horses in Sydney. Ceolwulf and El Castello are out of mares we sourced, one out of Europe and one from Australia.”
By Paul Vettise
On the home front, Group-winning mares Luberon, About Time and Bella Waters have continued the roll in Cambridge Stud’s familiar gold and black chequered silks while Aquacade performed to the highest level before joining the stud’s broodmare band. Thousand Guineas-Gr1 winner Joliestar will be another future top calibre breeding prospect for the farm. “The racing team, particularly the homebreds, really do promote the farm and we’ve also had a lot of other horses we’ve sold that have performed well. Apart from Ceolwulf and El Castello, Diss Is Dramatic, Apostrophe, Immediacy, Here To Shock and Outovstock are recent stakes winners to have come from our sale offerings,” Calder said.
The last 12 months have really affirmed the stud’s reputation as one of the best breeding grounds, not just in New Zealand, but internationally. We are really fortunate that coming into the 2025 sales series we can hang our hat on some particularly good results, and most importantly those two Group 1 spring winners in Australia.
“The last 12 months have really affirmed the stud’s reputation as one of the best breeding grounds, not just in New Zealand, but internationally. We are really fortunate that coming into the 2025 sales series we can hang our hat on some particularly good results, and most importantly those two Group 1 spring winners in Australia. Stallion investment has also been an integral part of the Cambridge Stud blueprint for future success with a roster now featuring international and domestic top flight winners Almanzor, Hello Youmzain, Embellish, Sword Of State and Chaldean. The latter, a son of the champion Frankel, served his first season in 2024 while his associate quartet will all be represented at New Zealand Bloodstock’s upcoming National Yearling Sale at Karaka. “Almanzor is going better than ever as his progeny continue to mature. We’ve seen the likes of Mehzebeen winning the New Zealand Cup-Gr3 and Positivity have a very good spring in Australia,” Calder said. “In Australia, there’s also been Athabascan and Rise At Dawn and Keeneland emerge. He’s got momentum with four stakes winners in the spring, three of them in Australia. This yearling crop is the first conceived at the
higher fee of $50,000 so it’s his best bred crop to date. I think his results will continue to get better.”
Calder tipped a pair of daughters of Almanzor in Cambridge Stud’s draft to be particularly popular youngsters. “There’s the filly (Lot 474) out of Bavella, who was a stakes winning two year-old by Snitzel and we sold the sister last year for $400,000 to Te Akau’s David Ellis. She’s already placed at the trials, so that’s encouraging.
“Another filly (Lot 421) I’m really fond of is out of Ziegfeld, she’s a Classic type and is all quality. It’s a family that has been very good to us and her granddam Sussex Dancer has been a fantastic producer. Ziegfeld won three and is by Teofilo so it’s a nice cross.”
Hello Youmzain has enjoyed a flying start to his Northern Hemisphere career with 18 juvenile winners, including Electrolyte and Misunderstood who have posted Group 3 wins and the latter placed at Group 1 level.
“We’re very excited about Hello Youmzain and we’re getting a glimpse here already with Hello Romeo a winner in Australia,” Calder said.
“Our Hello Youmzain colt (Lot 280) is a really athletic type, full of quality from a very well performed European family and the filly (Lot 401) is a standout from a very successful Bob Peters’ family.” Her dam is out of a half-sister to the two time top flight winner Regal Power and a blood sister to Arcadia Queen, successful in the Mackinnon Stakes-Gr1 and the Caulfield Stakes-Gr1.
The first crop of Sword Of State, a Group 1 winning champion juvenile by Snitzel, will also be showcased at Karaka while Luberon’s sire Embellish has strong Book 2 representation. “We are confident that Sword Of State’s yearlings will be very well received, they look precocious types and we’re sure the buying bench will love them,” Calder said.
“The colt (Lot 628) out of Fuld’s Bet, a stakes winning I Am Invincible mare, is a half-brother to Group 3 performer I’m All In and he is a forward looking horse. The filly (Lot 224) is out of black type performer Pullyoursocksup and is a well grown first foal who has plenty of strength and presence.
“We put 56 yearlings through the ring across multiple sales in 2024 and sold every one of them. We aim to offer our horses transparently and give buyers confidence to bid on our horses.”

Haunui Farm
Haunui Farm have sent some very nice horses thorough Karaka over recent years; Poetic Champion, Orchestral, Snow Patrol, Linebacker, Belardo Boy, Crosshaven, Verona and Savannah Cloud astute purchases for their happy owners.
2025 is another strong year for the renowned nursery with 15 high class stallions represented in the Karaka draft. And Mark Chitty is very happy with the selection.
“We love having horses by proven stallions as that tends to lead to proven racehorses,” he said, noting that 13 of the 33 are by two such horses; Proisir and Per Incanto.
First up is Lot 18, a Proisir half-brother to the Group 3 winners Crosshaven and Killarney and to the dam of Crocetti out of the Group 2 mare Irish Colleen.
Lot 164 also has nice relations, her dam being a half-sister to the stakes winners Needle And Thread and Savile Row whilst Lot 166 is a son of the Listed winner One Swanstonstreet.
Lot 316 is out of the seven time winning Street Cry mare So Wicked and Lot 367 is a granddaughter of the Group 1 mare Emerald.
Lot 530 is out of a half-sister to the Group 3 winners Babylon Berlin and Darci Be Good and Lot 555 shares the same grandam as Noverre.
The Per Incanto yearlings are also well related; Lot 32 from the family of Quintessa, Lot 104 a grandson of Calveen, Lot 123 out of a halfsister to Melody Belle, Lot 361 out of a halfsister to Fix and Sudbina, Lot 412 a son of the dual Group winner Xpression and Lot 489 a sister to the stakes placed Mascarinto.
Orchestral and Savannah Cloud have both been recent Savabeel success stories for Haunui and they have four of his progeny heading to the sale including a sister to Orchestral (Lot 345). Lot 450 is from a strong international family and Lot 547 is a half-brother to triple Group winner Spanish Whisper.
The best seller in Haunui’s draft last year was Te Akau’s $825,000 colt He Who Dares who was in winning form at the trials in October. His Group 1 placed dam Rondinella has Lot 255, a Savabeel filly.
Rondinella is a daughter of the the Group 3 winner Valpolicella whose colt by Ocean Park is Lot 380 whilst Lot 245 is a Hello Youmzain colt out of her half-sister.
Chitty is particularly proud of this family, noting that its members have been gracing the Haunui paddocks for nine generations; “right back to when my great grandfather bought Rondinella’s seventh dam Foxona (ancestress of 49 stakes winners) from Trelawney.”
Super Seth has also been a good horse for Haunui with Linebacker and Poetic Champion both performing so well. A brother to the latter is Lot 240 whilst Lot 384 hails from the family of Crystal Lily.
A colt by Home Affairs is bound to attract attention, Lot 53 being a grandson of Chasing Mammon, dam of the New Zealand Derby-Gr1, 2400m winner Sherwood Forest, the Waikato Guineas-Gr2, 2000m winner Field Of Gold and the Listed winner Royal Ocean.
Chasing Mammon is a great granddaughter of the famed matriarch Fanfreluche, the fifth dam of Home Affairs and the third dam of Home Affairs’ dam sire Flying Spur; that’s some pedigree!
Another strong pedigree is that owned by Lot 176, a filly by Too Darn Hot out of a 3/4 sister to the Perth Cup-Gr2, 2400m winner Midnight Blue. She is line bred to Too Darn Hot’s third dam Delsy via her son Darshaan; a cross which has produced two of Too Darn Hot’s first three Group 1 winners.
Shamrocker is one of the four stakes winners produced by the outstanding broodmare Bohemian Blues and this family is always keenly sought after. There are two members in the draft, Lot 395, a Satono Aladdin and Lot 492 by The Autumn Sun.,
Other highlights include Lot 15, an Almanzor filly out of a half-sister to Miss Keepsake, Lot 200, a Russian Revolution daughter of the Group 1 mare Perfect Fit, Lot 201, a The Autumn Sun filly out of a daughter of the French Group 1 winner Valentine Waltz and Lot 206, a Palace Pier colt from the family of Rosehill Guineas-Gr1, 2000m winner Zabrasive.
As well as Lot 323, the only Ghaiyyath in the sale, a filly out of a city winning daughter of the Group 3 mare Full Of Spirit from the family of Champagne, Bonneval and St Reims, Lot 482, a Hello Youmzain filly out of the dual Group 3 winner Belle Fascino, Lot 608, a Written By colt out of a half-sister to the Group 2 mare Turaath and Lot 639, a Satono Aladdin filly out of a half-sister to the Group 3 winner Lilikoi from the family of Dubai Honour.

Rich Hill Stud
The continued rise of Rich Hill Stud residents Proisir and Satono Aladdin is clearly reflected by their numbers in the catalogue for the 2025 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale. Their ever-growing fanbases will be delighted with the increased opportunities to purchase quality youngsters by the pair through the Book 1 and 2 sessions at Karaka.
“In Book 1, Proisir has got 53 yearlings which is the leading representation of any stallion and with 10 in Book 2 as well he is the leading stallion by total numbers overall,” Rich Hill’s John Thompson said. “Satono Aladdin has got 40 in Book 1 and 17 in Book 2 so he’s second on the list as far as representation goes.”
Proisir’s emergence has been a heartwarming tale for Rich Hill , whose faith in the son of Choisir has been unwavering and a current tally of six individual Group 1 winners has served to take him to champion sire status. Associate sire Satono Aladdin is the leading son of breed shaper Deep Impact and has quickly found favour with buyers through his early stud success.
“It’s a clear indication of where the stallions are at and a real feather in the cap of the farm and our clients, the quality and numbers they have bred in the last few seasons really augurs well for both horses going forward. The crop of youngsters by Proisir to be offered at Karaka were conceived off a $17,500 + GST fee and off the back of his Australasian Group 1 successes he now commands a fee of $80,000 + GST. “These 2025 yearlings are from better quality mares,” Thompson said. “They offer buyers exciting opportunities, and for breeders and shareholders the chance for very good returns whilst upgrading their broodmares.” Proisir, whose progeny sold up to $1.6 million at Karaka 2024, naturally features strongly in Rich Hill’s consignment which also emphasises the quality additions to the farm’s broodmare band. “We usually do about 40 yearlings, that’s what we’re set up to do and the draft is also a reflection of some of the mares we have purchased over the last few years,” Thompson said.
One of those is Star Witness’ daughter Temolie, secured in foal to Castelvecchio at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Broodmare
Sale with the result the Carbine Club StakesGr3 winner and Thousand Guineas-Gr1 runner-up Aeliana whose half-sister (Lot 351) by Proisir will be a feature offering. “She’s a really nice type, a later foal and a quality, athletic filly as you would expect,” Thompson said.
The Proisir consignment also features a brother to the Bonecrusher Stakes-Gr3 winner and multiple Group 1 placegetter Riodini and a half-sister (Lot 287) to Lupo Solitario, who was also successful in an edition of the Bonecrusher. “There’s a lovely Palace Pier (Lot 332) colt out of the Kermadec mare Steelsheen, who I bought in foal at the Gold Coast and it’s a really current Darley family,” Thompson said. The pedigree page includes the Randwick Guineas-Gr1 winner Kementari and Silmarillion, successful in the Atlantic Jewel Stakes Listed last spring.
Satono Aladdin enjoyed a bumper sale 12 months ago, highlighted by Rich Hill’s filly going to Chris Waller and Guy Mulcaster for $900,000. Among his yearlings to go under the hammer this time is another impressive and well credentialled filly. “We’ve got a sister (Lot 439) to (Champion Two Year-Old) Tokyo Tycoon out of the Starcraft mare All About The Coin, who we purchased in Sydney, and we’d expect her to be pretty popular,” Thompson said.
Meanwhile, the successful Shocking has a quality individual (Lot 191) out of the Group 2-winning Montjeu mare Passchendaele, dam of multiple winner and Group 1 performer Massetto, on offer. “He’s a lovely, correct type and there are some quality Shocking colts in Book 2 as well,” Thompson said. “He’s always got a good horse running around and getting plenty of winners and that’s what people have come to expect, so he never disappoints.
“Ace High’s also well-represented and is at an interesting stage of his career. He might have a lot more progeny in Book 1 in 2026 so it’s a really good opportunity for buyers right now. He’s got a lot of promising horses coming through. Overall, we’ve got a lovely draft and we’re looking forward to presenting them at Karaka.”

Highline Thoroughbreds
Calling Cambridge home since 2019, Highline Thoroughbreds’ Cam and Eva Heron have rapidly earned a reputation as first class preparers of horses for sale and their 2025 Karaka draft is as strong as ever. Last year was a great sale for the Highline team, their five yearlings proving very popular when selling for up to $510,000 to the likes of David Ellis, Wallace Thoroughbreds, Riversley Park and Ballymore Stables.
The Herons hope buyers will take a keen interest in inspecting their youngsters and in the meantime, we had a chat with Eva about their background, their successes and their horses.
Who have your best Karaka graduates been?
Legarto (sold for $90,000 in 2021), she won three Group 1 races and was the Champion
3YO Filly in New Zealand 2022-23 and the Champion Middle Distance Horse in New Zealand in 2023-24.
She won the Australian Guineas-Gr1, 1600m, the New Zealand Thousand Guineas-Gr1, 1600m and the Herbie Dyke Stakes-Gr1, 2000m as well as a Group 2, a Group 3 and a Listed race.
And Dark Destroyer, winner of the Tarzino Trophy-Gr1, 1400m as well as the Auckland Guineas-Gr2, 2100m and the Rough Habit Plate-Gr3, 2000m.
Other horses sold by Highline include the Matamata Slipper-Gr3 winner Alabama Gold sold at the NZB National Yearling Sale for $85,000 in 2021, the Listed winner Glamour Tycoon sold for $220,000 and the 2022 National having been purchased
as a weanling for $85,000 and the Listed winner Discretion Rules who David Ellis bought for $165,000 at the 2023 National.
What were your Group 1 winners like as yearlings?
I guess it’s easy to say now, but there was something that I really liked about Legarto. I really couldn’t put my finger on it, but there was just something about her as a yearling.
Dark Destroyer was a naturally muscular horse who took everything in his stride, he had a huge walk on him.
Can you describe your yearling sale preparation process?
It’s all about education for us, keeping in mind that these horses are going to go on and be racehorses.
Therefore, we do our work out of the tie ups, with the yearlings being paddocked most of the time. We believe paddock time helps grow strong bone rather than being restricted in their movement.
We like to build the confidence of young horses, trying to expose them to as much as we can.
Our horses are closely monitored daily with hands on management, giving every horse every chance to maximise their potential. Each horse has an individualized programme including conditioning specifically for body type through nutrition and exercise
Can you tell us a bit about Highline?
Cam and I moved to our property in Cambridge in 2019 which enabled us to take on client horses, presenting our first draft in 2020.
We set about totally refurbishing the fencing with Magnum Horserail ensuring the safety of the horses. We are a boutique farm specializing in yearling and weanling preparation.
We are extremely proud of our farm’s graduates and very grateful for our loyal breeders who have entrusted us to sell their progeny.
Highline Thoroughbreds has had 28 individual winners including our two Group 1 winners as well as two Group 2 winners, three Group 3 winners and two Listed winners, as well as three stakes placed horses; all coming from very small drafts.
We are also proud to have contributed with our own homebred and pinhooks to black type for the farm.
What other services do you offer?
We also have spelling and agistment of racehorses and we also do a small amount of rehabilitation.
What are the facilities at Highline?
We have 26 individual colt paddocks along with large spelling paddocks, rehabilitation paddocks and 20 stables as well as an eight-horse walker.
Do you have any favourite stallions and why?
There are so many great stallions in New Zealand and Australia, however Proisir would have to be one of our favourites.
We have sold 14 yearlings sired by Proisir and twelve of those are racing with nine being winners including Legarto and Dark Destroyer, and more recently the very exciting Hankee Alpha only started twice and winning both of these.
Of our twelve Book 1 Karaka yearlings, four are by Proisir; a sister to Dark Destroyer (lot 440), a half-sister to the in form Gringotts (lot 113) and a colt from that same family (lot 121) which is also the family of Winx and a colt from the great Hunza family (lot 373).
Your other Karaka yearlings are also well related...
Lot 1 is a Tassort colt with speed influence line-bred to Rory’s Jester and Lot 10 is a Contributer colt out of a winning daughter of the stakes winning Pins mare Shandream.
Lot 88 is a Too Darn Hot colt out of the stakes winning Encosta de Lago mare Lucky Raquie whose dam is a sister to Redoute’s Choice and Lot 136 is a Dundeel filly out of a daughter of the triple Group winning Redoute’s Choice mare Sister Madly from the family of the Hong Kong champion Silent Witness. Lot 213 by Prague is from an outstanding international family with Adayar, Epaulette and Helmet amongst her relations whilst Lot 303 is an Anders colt, another nice horse from Redoute’s Choice’s family.
Lot 328 is from the second crop of Dirty Work out of the Group 3 placed Sandown winner Star Of Eden from the family of the Group 1 winners Marble Halls, Amphitrite and Sleek Chassis and our last through the ring is Lot 520, a Super Seth colt out of a sister to the Group 1 placed Listed winning Hong Kong galloper Victory Magic.
You also have some nice types in Book 2...
We have a big draft of Book 2 horses and we are really happy with them, including Lot 687, a Noverre colt out of the stakes winner Lamington Vegas, Lot 747, a Tarzino filly out of a half-sister to the Singapore Horse Of The Year Infantry, Lot 880, a 3/4 brother to the Group 1 filly Seabrook, Lot 958 a brother to Alabama Gold and Lot 1065, a Sword Of State colt out of the Group 3 winner Glamorous Girl.
Do you see any quirks or common things in the progeny of certain stallions?
The Proisir yearlings are tough so work with them and you will be rewarded greatly.
What do you most enjoy about the Karaka sales?
The people, the buyers, the vendors, it’s always such a great atmosphere.

Jamieson
By Renée Geelen
Selling a Gr1 winner is the ultimate advertising for a farm and Jamieson Park added their latest big name graduate in September this year. Grail Seeker began her spring in perfect style with a thrilling win in the 2024 Gr1 Tarzino Trophy. Sold by Jamieson Park for $130,000 to Kakapo Lodge at the 2022 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale, was a very good three year-old last season winning the Gr2 Wellington Guineas.
“We are incredibly proud of Grail Seeker and everything she has achieved,” said James Chapman of Jamieson Park. “She’s a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team, and we are excited to see her continue to shine at the highest level.
“At Jamieson Park, we’re committed to producing the best racehorses, and we’re continuously upgrading our broodmare band to ensure we’re breeding top-class runners. Our investment in quality bloodlines and exceptional mares is a testament to our dedication to breeding the next generation of champions. With this focus, we’re not just looking at the present but also setting ourselves up for continued success in the future.”
Owned by James Chapman and run by Dylan Ralph, Jamieson Park is set on beautiful Waikato country and the farm has produced horses like Inspirational Girl, Declarationofheart, Saint Alice, Kinloch, and Just a Floozie.
Inspirational Girl was sold by Jamieson Park for $190,000, and the daughter of Reliable Man headed west, where she won nine of her first eleven starts including the Gr1 Railway Stakes. Sent east, she won the Gr2 Blamey Stakes and ran second to the wonderful Mr Brightside in the Gr2 John F Feehan Stakes before she was sold as a broodmare prospect for $1.1 million.
Jamieson Park bred Gr2 Phar Lap Stakes winner Mr Mozart (Snitzel) who won four stakes races in Australia and now stands in partnership with Brent Gillovic at Highview Stud in the Waikato, while their current three year-old crop includes recent Hong Kong winner Ka Ying Attack (Too Darn Hot).
Jamieson Park will present 14 yearlings in book one and 9 in book two at Karaka in 2025, led by two Wootton Bassett yearlings and two colts by the legendary Savabeel. Wootton Bassett filly, Lot 600, brings a huge pedigree, being a daughter of dual Gr1 winner Faint Perfume, making this yearling a half-sister to Gr2 winner Good Idea and Gr3 winner Chains Of Honour. The family traces to dual Gr1 winner Danendri, dam of Zingham and Banc De Fortune.
Gr1 NZ Oaks winner Savaria (Savabeel)’s fourth foal is a St. Mark’s Basilica colt, Lot 269, from the family of Solveig. Already a Champion Sire, Savabeel now has five Gr1 winners as a damsire, including Icebath, and stunning Gr1 Queensland Derby winner
Warmonger. “From the family of Solveig, he is poised to follow in the footsteps of his broodmare sire Savabeel.”
The second foal of Gr1 NZ Oaks placed Star Karen, the Wootton Bassett colt walks into the ring as Lot 326. Star Karen is a daughter of Gr1 placed Calm Smytzer, making her a half-sister to the dam of Gr3 winner Hear The Chant. “His pedigree includes the strong influence of Gr1 placed Calm Smytzer.”
The Savabeel cross with O’Reilly mares has been magical with the likes of Gr1 winners Mo’Unga, Orchestral, Costume, Major Beel, Amarelinha, Diademe, Embellish, Savaria, and The Perfect Pink. Lot 165 is a colt bred on this cross, out of stakes placed winner O’Naturelle who is a half-sister to the dam of Gr1 winner Pier.
Listed winner Loch Katrine’s half-brother by Acrobat, Lot 533, is out of Listed winner Cong’er whose two foals to race are both winners. Second dam is Gr1 winner Conifer Bay who has produced a strong dynasty with stakes winning descendants Bahira, Petty Cury, Rio Fortune and Solar Star. “With strong Gr1 bloodlines, he has the pedigree to succeed at the highest levels.”
Lot 85 had a pedigree update this spring with Gr2 Moonee Valley Vase winning three year-old colt Red Aces, who is a half-brother to this Ardrossan colt’s dam. The colt’s dam, Loveheart, is also a half-sister to Jamieson Park sold Declarationofheart from the family of Gr1 Victoria Oaks winning pair of Arapaho Miss and Miami Bound. “This colt’s pedigree received a significant update this spring with the emergence of his dam’s half-brother, Red Aces, who won the Gr2 Moonee Valley Vase.”
A filly with loads of residual value Lot 192 is a full sister to Gr3 winner Devastate (Vadamos) who was a brilliant three year-old winning three of his first four starts including the Gr3 Wellington Stakes. This is the wonderful Eight Carat family.
Tassort fillies have been flying with Gr1 winner Manaal and Gr2 winner Ameena and Jamieson Park are presenting a nicely bred filly, Lot 352, out of a full sister to Gr1 winner Hurtle Myrtle. This filly’s dam has already produced three winners. “With such a strong pedigree, she is a highly promising prospect.”
Home Affairs colt, Lot 66 is the first foal of precious Listed Talindert Stakes placed Lambda (Snitzel) who is a daughter of Gr2 winner Capella, herself out of Gr.3 winner Limerick.
Lot 595 colt is the first foal of metropolitanwinning mare Express Fantasy, who is a half-sister to Karaka 3YO Mile Listed winner Raghu. Hailing from a distinguished family, he has connections to several notable horses, including Gr1 Victoria Derby winner Manzoice, as well as Humma Humma and Tycoon Humma.
“In addition to our exceptional Book 1 yearlings, be sure to explore our Book 2 offerings, which include several promising
colts ideal for the Asian markets or traders. These yearlings are by top sires such as Portland Sky, Star Turn, Ocean Park, Capitalist, and Ardrossan. Jamieson Park’s impressive offerings at Karaka 2025 are sure to capture the attention of buyers, as the farm continues to produce outstanding racehorses with exceptional pedigrees.
“With a strong lineup of talented yearlings across both books, we look forward to showcasing our best to the market and helping you find your next champion. We can’t wait to see you at Karaka—make sure you come to “A” barn for outstanding yearlings, and the pizzas are on us!”

CAMPIONESSA by Contributor is a Gr1 winner of over $1.2 million and a wonderful advertisement for Mapperley Stud who will be offering 10 lots by the sire at Karaka 2025 as well as 13 lots by Armory, their exciting first season son of super sire Galileo.
CMapperley Stud
ampionessa continues to thrive at Gr1 level for Mapperley Stud winning the Gr1 Zabeel Classic on Boxing Day 2023, before going on to be competitive in Australia winning the Gr2 Peter Young Stakes in the autumn. She’s part of a long tradition of Gr1 winners from the rolling hills at Mapperley Stud and is by Mapperley’s resident sire Contributer, who unfortunately died this spring.
“Contributer has been a huge loss for us. He’s done so well with his progeny, a strong 6.4 percent stakes winners to runners with one in five of his fillies getting black type,” said Simms Davison.
“Campionessa is flying the flag, as is Snow Patrol in Australia. His winners to runners strike rate of 74 percent in Australia is one of his biggest assets, that’s why the Aussies come back here to buy them. Last season from only 45 runners in Australia he had three stakes winners, the other being Lion’s Roar. They perform as classic season three-year-olds and train on as older horses, and at all distances.”
“During the spring, He’s Lucid won the Gr3 War Decree Stakes. We aren’t making them anymore and with his biggest book now two year-olds, he should have a big 12 months ahead of him.”
Mapperley Stud will present 16 yearlings in book one and 21 in book two, with 10 by Contributer and 14 by their first season sire Armory.
“Armory has a big presence at Karaka with 33 yearlings. This is a horse we are really excited about. He was a Champion 3YO and 4YO who also had some serious two year-form, and is a lovely physical type. He has been very well supported at stud and covered the biggest book of mares of the first seasons sires that year,” said Davison.
“He was an easy horse to get numbers to as he’s got impressive strength and athleticism. He’s really stamped his progeny, they all look like him, real mini me’s, with great hindquarters and plenty of strength. He was a multiple stakes winner at two and placed 3 times at Gr1 level including a second to Champion 2YO Pinatubo so he went much earlier than people might expect from a son of Galileo, and his stock look fairly forward. He trained on to run second in his only Australian start in the Cox Plate as a three year-old and had a Timeform rating of 122.”
“As a result of us losing Contributer, Armory got some even better mares in this season’s book,
and the type of yearlings he’s produced gave us the confidence to send Contributer’s mares to him.”
Armory colt, Lot 546, is the first foal of a winning half-sister to recent group winner Red Aces. “He’s our standout. A lovely mover with natural muscle and a great rear end. He’s just a colt that demands attention, with a real presence about him. A quality type. He walks out of the box and commands respect. It’s a family on the improve too.” His dam, Cupid’s Bow (Smart Missile) won twice in Australia, and is a half-sister to Gr2 Moonee Valley Vase winner Red Aces and Gr3 winner Declarationofheart. This is the family of Gr1 Victoria Oaks winners Arapaho Miss and Miami Bound.
Contributer colt, Lot 286, is a full brother to Gr1 Australian Oaks placed Premise. Their dam, Sharp Proposition, won twice and is a half-sister to Gr1 winner Sound Proposition. “A strong athletic type who is a full brother to an Oaks performer. He’s a horse that won’t take too long to get up and running and is in a very similar mould to his sister so could be a nice Guineas and Derby type.”
Also represented are yearlings by Nicconi, Russian Camelot, St Mark’s Basilica, Super Seth, Sword Of State, and Wild Ruler.
Lot 609, the Nicconi colt, is the first foal of a half-sister to Positivity (Almanzor) who recently won the Gr2 Naturalism Stakes and was Gr1 placed in an Oaks. “We have his very nice Nicconi colt, who is a mature early type. He’s strong and should attract a lot of trainers looking for a horse to win the early two yearolds races. He has a lot of natural muscle on him.”
“We are presenting some yearlings by nice first season sires, which brings a bit of flavour to the draft. The St Mark’s Basilica and the Wild Ruler are both nice horses. We bought the mares in foal with them and are very happy with the result.”
“We’ve sold a stakes winner from our book two draft the last two years which is a great strike rate from around 20 horses. He’s Lucid came from book two, as did Beau Dazzler, and Thunder Lady a few years back. There are some nice Armory’s in book two that definitely need to be looked at.” Stallions represented in Mapperley Stud’s book 2 draft are Ace High, Armory, Circus Maximus, Contributer, Microphone, Noverre, Puccini, and Tivaci.

Pencarrow Stud
Pencarrow Stud’s graduates are on fire lately with Mehzebeen (Almanzor) winning the 2024 Gr 3 New Zealand Cup and Listed Metropolitan Handicap double this spring, homebred Pearl Of Alsace (Tavistock) ran second in the 2024 Gr2 Tauranga Stakes last start and was Gr1 placed and a Gr3 winner last season. Jay Bee Gee (Complacent) won the Gr3 Winter Cup and Gr3 Metric Mile double in September. This month exciting three year-old filly Island life (Vadamos) emerged winning a maiden and backing that up with a narrow second at Gr3 level.
“We’ve had a really good run of producing stakes winners in the last 18 months. There have been ten individual stakes winners off the farm since Dunkel won the South Australian Derby. And in Europe we bred Pembar Bay too,” said Pencarrow Stud’s Leon Casey.
“Pearl Of Alsace and Zourion are half-sisters but took different pathways. We sold Zourion to Cambridge Stud for $475,000, and she won the Gr2 Matamata Breeders’ last year. Pearl Of Alsace was retained by us and is a Gr3 winner and Gr1 placed, so yes we do keep some and we sell some. Both avenues are producing good horses.”
“We are stakeholders in a Coolmore-led colts syndicate, and we’ve been involved with Home Affairs, Shinzo, Switzerland and Private Life. Private Life won the Gr1 Caulfield Guineas, beating a horse we bred called Feroce. We beat ourselves and it was a bittersweet result as it meant we didn’t get a Gr1 winner off the farm. I’m not sure if winning with our small share in Private Life softened the blow or made it worse, but it’s current form in an elite race and shows the farm at its best.
“Feroce was quite a raw yearling with a lot of improvement in him, and he’s already been more forward than expected, so he should keep going on with it.”
Among Pencarrow’s other recent stakes winning graduates are several who went through their New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale drafts, led by Zourion, as well as 2023 Gr3 Barneswood Farm Stakes winner Star Of Justice (Justify), 2024 New Zealand Cup winner Mehzebeen, 2024 Listed Princess Stakes winner Waikato Girl (Savabeel), 2024 Gr3 Anniversary Handicap winner Churchillian (Churchill), 2024 Listed Uncle Remus Stakes winner Pericles (Rubick) not to be confused with Pericles (Street Boss) in Australia, and 2023 Gr1 SA Derby winner Dunkel (Dundeel).
A unique feature of Pencarrow stud is their Matamata hill property, Bellwood Farm. Once again, fillies will be offered from this property having been weaned there and undertaking a yearling preparation from this base.
Zourion, Churchillian, Star of Justice and Mehzebeen are examples of recent sales graduates of this system.
Pencarrow Stud will present 26 yearlings in 2025 at the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale, and all are in book one of the sale with sires such as Ace High, All Too Hard, Almanzor, Anders, Brutal, Circus Maximus, Farnan, Hello Youmzain, Home Affairs, Pierro, Proisir, Savabeel, So You Think, St Mark’s Basilica, Super Seth, Sword Of State, Too Darn Hot, and Toronado.
Gr3 winning Galileo mare Scintillula is represented by a Savabeel colt, Lot 274, who is Casey’s pick of the draft. “The mare just leaves an outstanding type every year. He’s a full brother to Waikato Girl and is a lovely quality horse. He’s a relatively late foal but has scope and plenty of maturity about him. Typical of Scintillula, he has a great nature, she always leaves no fuss horses.”
Scintillula, which is Latin for little spark, placed at two in the Gr1 Moyglare Stakes at just her second start, then went on to win the Gr3 Meld Stakes at three, while also running fourth in both the Gr1 Irish Oaks and Gr1 Yorkshire Oaks. She’s left her ability in her
foals with her first four foals all being winners, led by Listed winner Waikato Girl and Gr2 placed Butter Chicken.
Casey’s other pick was Lot 312, the Home Affairs colt from Sopraffina. “He’s an impressive type. A really scopey horse with plenty of quality, a beautiful mover, and just an impressive animal who looks like he might come to hand early but with enough stamina from the mare to run a good mile.”
Sopraffina (High Chaparral) won four times and is a member of one of Pencarrow Stud’s foundation families, being a half-sister to dual Gr2 winner Supera, and dual Gr3 winner Eleonora, who is now the dam of Listed winner Ethereal Star. This colt’s third dam is the wonderful racemare Ethereal.
“This year we are preparing six fillies at our hill farm, Bellwood Farm, including the Proisir, a Home Affairs, and the Toronado.”
With a surge in group winners bred by Pencarrow Stud, there are 26 reasons to inspect their 2025 draft.

Phoenix Park
Anyone who has read any racing media in the last four years will know that Phoenix Park sold multiple Gr1 winner Mr Brightside for $22,000 as a yearling at the 2019 New Zealand Bloodstock Yearling Sale. As brilliant an achievement as it is to sell such a horse, fortunately for buyers, Phoenix Park is the source of more than one good horse with 2024 Gr2 Schillaci Stakes winner Bellatrix Star emerging from their current crop of three year-old graduates, and city winning juvenile Too Sweet winning on debut at the end of October 2024. Stakes placed winner Bourbon Proof is another good current three year-old who is on the improve
and was sold by Phoenix Park, also worth mentioning is Gr1 winner Montoya’s Secret from a Karaka Phoenix Park draft.
“Growing Training Succeeding is our logo and it is a privilege to see it happen for owners in the sales ring and most importantly for the new owners on the racetrack as winners, stakes winners and the jewel in the crown Group 1 winners” said Janine Dunlop.
“It’s not just about Mr Brightside, although he is wonderful. The Chosen One was a Gr1 winner for us, Bellatrix Star has been a flagship horse this season. We do well from a small amount of horses. Our many successful sales graduates include Able One,
Samara Dancer, Lim’s Prestige, Princess Jenni and She’s A Meanie just to name a few.”
With seventeen yearlings on offer in book 1 of the 2025 New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale, the draft has a good cross-section of stallions on offer such as Ace High, Fierce Impact, Hello Youmzain, Noverre, Pinatubo, Proisir, Satono Aladdin, Shamus Award, So You Think, Super Seth, and Sweynesse.
A trio of yearlings by Hello Youmzain, who has started his stud career so well in the Northern Hemisphere, is led by Lot 214, a daughter of Gr1 Pondarosa Miss who is a half-sister to Listed winner Ecuador. Also
By Renée
from this family is Ace High colt, Lot 220, whose dam Prickly Princess is a winning half-sister to Pondarosa Miss.
“To me our logo – Grow, Train, Succeed – sums up our operation at Phoenix Park because it says what we do. You grow them, you train them, and then people are succeeding with them,” said Janine Dunlop.
Hello Youmzain colt, Lot 154 is a halfbrother to recent Listed winner Nucleozor and group placed winner Qali Al Farrasha. His winning dam is a half-sister to Gr2 Bill Stutt Stakes winner Tijuana, with second dam being Singapore Champion 2YO and Champion 3YO Filly Mexican Rose.
The trio of Hello Youmzain yearlings is rounded out by Lot 257, the first foal of an unraced daughter of Champion 3YO Filly Katie Lee who won the NZ 1000 Guineas and NZ 2000 Guineas, and is the second dam of this season’s exciting group placed three year-old Private Life.
The second foal of American Listed winner Georgia’s Reward is Lot 632, a Fierce Impact filly, from the same family as Pinatubo filly, Lot 515, who is also out of an American mare who is a half-sister to Listed winner and Gr1 placed Grace And Power, dam of Gr1 VRC Darley Classic winner Delectation, and to the dam of dual Gr1 winner Artorius. This is also the family of dual Gr1 winner Southport Tycoon. Georgia’s Reward is out of a half-sister to Grace And Power.
Proisir filly, Lot 355, is the third foal of Gr1 NZ 1000 Guineas placed The Lustre (Darci Brahma) who is a daughter of Listed winner The Pearler who won nine races, while Noverre filly, Lot 418 is the second foal of Gr2 placed winning mare Za Za Gabor, a half-sister to Gr1 winner Zazou.

A quartet of yearlings by Sweynesse, who is most famous for siring Hong Kong sprinting champion Lucky Sweynesse,
includes three colts and a filly. Sweynesse is not a one hit wonder with seven stakes winners including recent Gr3 winner Trust
In You who was fourth in last season’s Gr1 Metropolitan Handicap and ran in this year’s Melbourne Cup.
Lot 483 is closely related to Lucky Sweynesse, being a colt from winning mare Belle Hope, who is a half-sister to Listed winner Madonna Mia, the dam of Lucky Sweynesse. With four Gr1 wins, Lucky Sweynesse was the leading horse on the sprint classification of the World Thoroughbred Rankings in 2023.
A full brother to Gr2 The Roses winner Only Words (Sweynesse) is Lot 35, and this colt is out of a winning Darci Brahma mare who has also produced Torre del Greco, winner of nine races. His second dam is speedy juvenile and Gr2 Karrakatta Plate winner Climb The Vine.

Drama Series’ first foal is winning four year-old mare Raptylight (Written By) who recently ran fourth in the Listed Otago Breeders’ Stakes at only her fifth race day start.
So You Think colt, Lot 133, is the first foal of an unraced half-sister to $1.2million earner Brandenburg who won the Gr2 Hobartville Stakes and Gr2 winner Luvaluva who earned over $800,000 in Australia.
A half-brother to Gr1 NZ 1000 Guineasplaced Miss Tycoon Rose is Shamus Award
colt, Lot 324, whose dam is a winner in Australia and has several current runners all looking to upgrade this pedigree.

Seaton Park
Specialist agistment and preparation property Seaton Park sold Gr1 NZ 1000 Guineas winner Molly Bloom (Ace High) and she won four races at three before being sold to an Australian syndicate. This spring, she ran fourth in the Gr3 Tesio Stakes for new trainer Chris Waller.
Belardo colt Southern Warrior gave his new owners an instant upgrade after being purchased from Seaton Park for only $2,000, and he came out flying by winning the Listed Champagne Stakes at his second start as a two year-old last season. The farm continues to produce winners in Australia with three year-old Cocobill (Vadamos) winning on debut at Seymour this spring, while Artzino was a winner at Caulfield and fourth in the Listed Super Impose Stakes. Locally, three year-old filly Costae (Ribchester) has won twice from five starts.
“We’ve finished foaling down 200 mares, and yearling preparation is in full swing,”
said Scott Eagleton. “In the last 12 months, we’ve completed building our second farm called The Valley. It’s three minutes from the home farm, and it’s been a big deal getting that property close to being done. We run our dry mares out there to ease the pressure on the home farm leaving it for foaling and everything else. It’s made a huge difference to our overall management of the land.”
Seaton Park will present four yearlings in book 1 of the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale, and another 22 in book 2.
“We are excited to present a draft for a lot of different clients. We don’t stand a stallion and we have a lot of different sires represented in our draft. We usually have a variety of pedigrees in each draft because we prepare horses for a large range of clients in different parts of the market.”
A colt by Champion NZ Sire Proisir headlines the Seaton Park draft, and
Lot 330 is out of winning mare Starry Heights (Scaredee Cat) who has produced two winners to date. “He is a full brother to a horse who pinhooked nicely and is an athletic running type.” In 2024, Seaton Park sold the two year-old full brother to Lot 330 for $150,000 as a yearling, and his purchaser Ohukia Lodge on sold him at the NZB Ready To Run Sale in November for $250,000. This is the Sky Heights family and Starry Heights is a half-sister to Gr3 Manawatu Cup winner Rising Heights, as well as to the dam of dual Gr3 winner Supreme Heights. Sky Heights won four Gr1 races in Australia, and had earnings over $4.2million, an impressive figure for the late 90s before the current explosion in big money races.
“The Super Seth filly is a real running type. She walked off the truck from the client’s place and impressed immediately. She’s short coupled and strong and Super Seth is doing a great job.” Lot 387, is a Super Seth filly from Vickezzcristal (Big Brown)
whose second foal Cindy Falls won the VRC Leilani Series Final over winter and has run in group races in Australia in her last three starts this spring. This filly’s second dam is Gr3 Taranaki Cup winner Vickezzchardonay who has produced Gr2 Travis Stakes winner Aromatic. By the same sire as Seaton Park’s Molly Bloom comes Lot 508, an Ace High half-sister to Gr2 Travis Stakes winner Apostrophe (Tavistock) and 2024 Listed Champagne Stakes winner Southern Warrior (Belardo) who was sold by Seaton Park.
“We’ve finished foaling down 200 mares, and yearling preparation is in full swing,” said Scott Eagleton. “In the last 12 months, we’ve completed building our second farm called The Valley. It’s three minutes from the home farm, and it’s been a big deal getting that property close to being done.”
Rounding out book one is Pierata filly, Lot 567, who is the third foal of Doubt She’s A Lady (Not A Single Doubt) who won three races including one in Brisbane, and her only runner to date, Uploads, is a winner on the Gold Coast. Doubt She’s A Lady is a daughter of Gr2 Light Fingers Stakes winner Lady Mulan, who placed three times in Gr1 company, being the Gr1 Coolmore Classic, Gr1 TJ Smith Stakes, and Gr1 Flight Stakes, and she is the granddam of Australian group winner Scallopini and Shades Of Rose. Seaton Park will present a large draft in book 2 with yearlings by Ace High, Almanzor, Ardrossan, Fierce Impact, Hello Youmzain, Noverre, Redwood, Reliable Man, Royal Meeting, Satono Aladdin, Shocking, Staphanos, Sword Of State, The Chosen One, Vadamos, and Vanbrugh.
“We have a magnificent Satono Aladdin who stands over plenty of ground. He’s a real three year-old type.” The draft has two yearlings by Satono Aladdin, a filly and a colt. The colt that Eagleton mentioned is 1061, and he is the first foal of Gerda who won five races and is from the family of Gr1 winners and sires Vancouver and Bradbury’s Luck.
The Satono Aladdin filly, Lot 701 is the third foal of Zabeel mare Lovelight who won three times and Lovelight is a daughter of Gr1 NZ Oaks winner Jungle Rocket.
“The Noverre yearling is a magnificent black flashy type and if all the Noverre’s are like him, then they’ll be very exciting.” Lot 840 is out of Simply Classic, who won twice. This colt’s third dam is Listed Townsville Cup winner Simple Melody who won nine races, while Simple Melody’s half-brother Ziparipa won ten races and placed in the Listed Weetwood Handicap.
Royal Meeting started his stud career with first crop Gr1 Blue Diamond winner Hayasugi, and his second crop yearling colt, Lot 790, is out of Gr2 winner Puttanesca from the family of Gr1 winner Jennifer Eccles.
A full brother to Seaton Park sold winner Cocobill (Vadamos) is Lot 793, out of winning mare Rapt, from the family of French group winner Silver Fun. Bred to stay is Lot 735, a Staphanos colt from a half-sister to triple Gr1 winner Explosive Jack and his second dam is Listed winner Extra Explosive.
From one of Pencarrow Stud’s best families is Lot 1026, a Shocking colt who is the second foal of Lonhro mare Divine Dance who is a daughter to Gr2 winner Rasa Lila. The first foal of winning Pierro mare Kya Khoob Lagti Ho is Lot 680, a Reliable Man colt.
Hello Youmzain filly, Lot 1029, is a daughter of Gr3 Sunline Vase placed Dreamcrafter who won twice. Dreamcrafter is a half-sister to Gr2 Australia Stakes winner, Sea Lord, who won ten races in total including three others at Listed level.
Ardrossan is a known upgrader of his mares, and Lot 883 is a colt who is the fourth foal of winning mare The Faith (Denman) from the family of Lodore Magic and Chase The Rainbow.
Molly Bloom is the headline act for Seaton Park and Ace High and this year they’ll present a yearling filly, Lot 707, who shares the same sire. She is out of winning mare Maenoha whose first foal to race is a winner and both her first two foals are currently in work looking to upgrade the pedigree. Maenoha is a half-sister to dual Gr3 winner Justamaiz and Australian Gr3 winner Zabisco, while dual Gr1 winner Solzhenitsyn features in this family.
With a variety of sires and yearlings at different price points, Seaton Park has a history of preparing top quality horses, a fact that gives confidence to buyers looking for the next big thing.

The Oaks Stud
Fresh off winning the Gr1 NZ 2000 Guineas with a colt they purchased at the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale, Savaglee (Savabeel), The Oaks Stud will bring a big draft to the same sale in 2025. Savaglee, a $400,000 purchase from Waikato Stud, was a winner on debut at two, then won the Gr3 Matamata Slipper Stakes that season. At three, he’s improved to have won four of his five starts, three of those in group company culminating in the Guineas, and is being set for the Melbourne autumn.
“We’ve had a bit of luck with a nice colt I bought,” said Rick Williams about Savaglee.
“We also had Raziah run in the 1000 Guineas, but it was one race too many for her this spring after a hard run on a heavy track the start before in the War Decree. She’s a homebred by Niagara and has a nice future. We have some nice fillies about to debut and it looks like we’ll have a good autumn with our racing team.” Raziah won her first two starts at three in the Listed Canterbury Belle Stakes and Gr3 Barnswood Farm Stakes before running second in the Gr3 War Decree Stakes.
The Oaks Stud will present 28 yearlings, which is their biggest draft for some time. In 2022, they only presented four horses for sale, with Gr3 War Decree Stakes winner Burn To Shine (So You Think) emerging from that quartet, while previous graduates include Gr1 winner Catalyst, Gr2 winner Harlech, group placed winners Lord Ardmore, Embers, and Reliable Star.
“We have a big draft again with a cross section of stallions both local and Australian. It’s a good physical bunch of yearlings. We have shares in Hello Youmzain and he’s made a great start in the Northern Hemisphere. They even put his service fee up there, and the Hayes brothers have a nice one by him.” Lindsay Park trained Hello Romeo became Hello Youmzain’s first Southern Hemisphere
winner when winning a juvenile race at Bendigo in mid-November.
Hello Youmzain colt, Lot 473, is out of Gr1 NZ Oaks placed Aurora Lights (Darci Brahma) who has produced two winners to date and is a full sister to Gr1 Queensland Derby placed Westsouthwest.
Lot 179, a half-sister to Gr3 placed winner of five races Lord Ardmore (Reliable Man) is by Hello Youmzain and out of Listed placed winner Outshine (Darci Brahma), Lot 381 by Hello Youmzain is the second foal of Gr3 Barneswood Farm Stakes winner Kali (Darci Brahma).
“The two Almanzor fillies are the stars of the draft and I’d normally retain them to race. Almanzor is having a good run, he’s trending upwards and should leave more Classic winners and Cup winners now.” Almanzor, Champion European 3YO, has sired two G1 winners in Australia being Manzoice and Circle Of Fire, while Positivity had a fantastic spring campaign.
Artistic, Gr1 NZ Oaks winner, is the dam of Almanzor filly, Lot 454, making this filly a half-sister to Listed placed winner of four races Reliable Star (Reliable Man) and Listed Geelong Classic placed winner of 14 races (yes fourteen!) Grinzinger Star (Reliable Man). Grinzinger Star won three country cups in Queensland over the winter of 2024 and is still racing after 62 starts with earnings over $360,000. Wouldn’t he be fun to own? With four of Artistic’s foals still in work, there is plenty of upside in this filly, and Artistic is a half-sister to Gr1 Epsom Handicap winner Excellerator.
Storm Boy has just arrived in Europe and is being set for a sprinting campaign in 2025, and The Oaks Stud are selling two of his close relatives in this draft. Almanzor filly, Lot 277, is out of winning mare Sea Goddess (Darci Brahma) whose dam is Champion racemare
and multiple Gr1 winner Seachange, making Sea Goddess a half-sister to Pelican, the dam of Storm Boy. This filly is a full sister to debutant two year-old winner Thooza.
Also from the Storm Boy and Seachange family is Ace High colt, Lot 467 who is the second foal of winning mare Away Cruising (Darci Brahma).
Almanzor colt, Lot 180, is a son of Gr3 VRC Schweppervescence Trophy winner Paint The Town (Darci Brahma) who won up to a mile and brings a lot of speed to the pedigree. Darci Brahma, who retired from stud duties after the 2022 season, is making his mark as a broodmare sire and The Oaks Stud have many of his daughters represented in this draft. Darci Brahma’s eleven stakes winners as a damsire include Gr1 Coolmore Stud Stakes winner Ozzmosis (Zoustar) and Gr1 NZ 2000 Guineas winner Pier (Proisir).
Three yearlings from Darci Brahma’s final crop headline The Oaks Stud’s book two draft, while the Proisir half-sister to Gr2 placed Le Castile (Dalghar) is Lot 961. Other sires represented in book two are Ace High, Ardrossan, Embellish, Hello Youmzain, and six yearlings by US Navy Flag.
It’s a draft full of quality from a farm that has a wonderful reputation for producing high class racehorses.

The Golden nick that produced a Melbourne Cup winner
by Andrew Reichard
There were only two Australian bred runners among the 23 starters in the 2024 Melbourne Cup, Gr1 3,200metres at Flemington.
One was The Map by Alpine Eagle who stands at Armidale Stud in Tasmania.
Alpine Eagle is by High Chaparral out of a Zabeel mare and The Map’s dam is by Savoire Vivre by Sadler’s Wells. All in order. The other was the winner Knight’s Choice, By Blue Diamond winner Extreme Choice out of a mare by More Than Ready who has sired two Golden Slipper winners and two Magic Millions winners. Knight’s
Choice’s pedigree is replete with Golden Slipper winning and Gr1 sprint sires. Seriously, how could this happen.
Whenever we see a result like this, and I hold my hand up to not having seen it coming, it is worth closer examination.
The nick’s the thing
There has always been a strong broad nick between Danehill and More Than Ready, ever since they encountered each other in matings, good things happened.
Practically all the variants of this cross have higher SW/R and Gr1 stats than those for the two sires involved, which it should be noted are already very high in the first place.
The most relevant nicks to help explain the Knight’s Choice mystery are those for Not A Single Doubt and his son Extreme Choice when crossed with mares by More Than Ready.
The NASD/MTR nick was responsible for that stallion’s first Gr1 winner, Blue Diamond heroine Miracles Of Life. This nick has 14.3% SW/R, double the stallion’s average of 7.44%.
The Extreme Choice/MTR nick has just 4 runners for 2 SW which are Gr1 winner Knight’s Choice and Gr2 winner, Gr1 placed Tiger Of Malay. This nick, with an admittedly small early data set has 50% SW/R, around four times the stallion’s already exceptional average of 12.26%.
It will be diluted as the number of runners increases, but it has a lot of room to move and still remain exceptional.
Behind the scenes
Looking behind the scenes, we find that Not A Single Doubt and More Than Ready are usually associated with crack sprinters and Golden Slipper and Blue Diamond winners such as Classique Legend, Farnan, Miracles Of Life, Sebring, Phelan Ready, Karuta Queen, Stay Inside etc etc.
But there’s more, you knew there would be.
NASD also sired SA Derby winner Qafila and Doomben Cup winner Kenedna. MTR also sired two VRC Victoria Derby winners, Benicio and Prized Icon. And most interestingly, and relevantly, one of the two best horses previously sired by Extreme Choice was VRC Oaks Gr1 2,500m winner She’s Extreme.
The plot thickens.
Unlikely as it first seems that two sires usually associated with sprinting ability should combine to produce a Gr1 winner over 3,200 metres, closer examination of their records shows how it was done.
Abracadabra, combine the latent staying tendencies in their two pedigrees, sprinkle with the magic nick, add a dash of Sir Tristram (found close up in the second dam of Knight’s Choice) and hey presto, it’s done.
The coup de grace
Taking further advantage of the benefits of hindsight, I looked to see how Knight’s Choice fared at his lead up start. He was held up for a run at the critical stage in the Gr3 Bendigo Cup over 2,400 metres and was arguably just as good as the winner Sea King who started much shorter in the big one. To complete the picture Knight’s Choice was prepared by expert horse couple John Symons and Sheila Laxon, the latter having been the first woman to train a Melbourne Cup winner when she sent forth the mighty mare Ethereal to win the Cups double in 2001.

MM 2YO race
by Renée Geelen
Is it an advantage to have an early foal for the MM 2YO Classic?
Sometimes the most obvious answer is the correct one.
With only a year between the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and the Listed Magic Millions 2YO Classic, it seems logical that August and September born foals would have an advantage over November and December born foals.
A short time frame surely means that every week counts. And looking through the 41 winners of the race, including the three years with fillies and colts versions, there are no December foals and only two November foals in that select group.
Snippets (Lunchtime-Easy Date, by Grand Chaudiere), the inaugural winner, was born on November 1, 1984, and the following year, Sea Cabin (Semipalatinsk-Cabin Light, by Boone’s Cabin) won the fillies version. She was born on November 8, 1985. Since then, all the winners have been born in August (20%), September (51%) and October (24%). By itself, this information is dull—even expected—but align it to the Australian foal crop and the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale catalogue and suddenly there are some questions.
James Harron purchased 2016 winner Capitalist (Written Tycoon-Kitalpha, by Fusaichi Pegasus) for $165,000 at the 2015 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale from Daandine Stud. “Ultimately you want to look at what is in front of you,” said Harron. “When I’m putting together a profile of a horse at the sales, birth date is a small factor. It’s not something we get stuck on. At the Gold Coast, those horses have selfselected for the sale by being forward and mature. It’s just what you end up seeing there. And early birth month isn’t a pre-requisite. If a later born horse checks out on everything else and makes sense for me, it’s fine.”
Table: Comparison of month of birth
After being shown the data, Harron said, “The data is what you’d expect with 70% of the winners being born in August and September, but you aren’t really buying the November foals at the Gold Coast because they aren’t there.”
“And it makes sense that earlier born foals have an advantage. To qualify for the Magic Millions, you need to be out as a pre-Christmas two year-old, so there is an advantage to being born a couple of months earlier. The date of birth becomes less relevant as they get towards three or older.”
“It’s a very small window to get your horse educated and running to potentially make the field. He needs to get educated, fit and ready to run, and then win enough prizemoney. Everything has to go right with no setbacks. If there’s any small issue, then you’ve missed the window for the race. If they go shin sore, then you’re out at least six weeks and that’s your chance gone.”
Capitalist won the Listed Breeders’ Plate on debut in October 2015, then had a short break before winning the Listed
Magic Millions Wyong 2YO Classic, before making it three from three in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic. He later won the Gr1 Golden Slipper at his fifth start.
“Farm managers are selecting their more forward stock and they are usually the ones born earlier. It’s always been that sale where it’s earlier focused, which is natural with this race attached to it. Essentially farms need to present an early looking horse, and we have to buy one. To win the Magic Millions you have to be a pre-Christmas two yearold and to do that you have to be early and ready to go. The advertisement to participate is for that type of horse, so it’s a circle.
“Legitimately if you are buying at Magic Millions, educating, getting to trials and races, everything has to go right to give them a run before Christmas. Then they need a short break before a second preparation to give yourself the best chance to win it. You need a lot of luck, and soundness.”
Of the 41 winners, all of them had their first start before Christmas.
Capitalist (by Written Tycoon) was a mid-September foal who won the Magic Millions 2YO before becoming a successful stallion. September foals comprise 39% of the crop each season and provide 51% of Magic Million 2YO winners.
Coolmore Stud bred 2024 winner Storm Boy (Justify-Pelican, by Fastnet Rock) born 3rd September, and sold him at the Gold Coast sale in 2023 for $460,000 to Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott Racing and Kestrel Thoroughbreds. “Storm Boy was a natural two year-old with extreme speed and I would say he’s one of the finest Magic
Millions winners I’ve seen. We were very happy to buy back into our own product.
Importantly, his form in Sydney in the spring at three has reached a very high level and I’m looking forward to seeing him racing in Europe,” said Coolmore’s Colm Santry.
“The Magic Millions is a two year-old race in January. What is the percentage of the
foal crop that have raced by that time in January? As much as Storm Boy stood out at two, importantly he showed his high class again at three at group level. Generally, in Australia, a very low number of foals race at two, only 18% and it’s falling each season. It’s very different to Europe where some stallions have had over 100 runners already.”
“In Australia we mostly race our two yearolds over five and six furlongs well into the autumn. Unfortunately, the racing system is not structured to help the whole foal crop, where most other nations race their two year-olds over longer trips earlier (than us) and later into the season,” said Santry.
With the flat season finished in England, and only a month to go in the year, Mehmas (Acclamation-Lucina, by Machiavellian) had 204 foals in his 2022 born crop, and 155 of them (76%) raced as two year-olds in 2024 for 66 winners including nine stakes winners. Those figures are pretty unbelievable from an Australian perspective.
“Wootton Bassett has had around 100 runners this season in Europe with 40 winners. They’ve run 258 times and won 61 races over all distances. He’s had 13 stakes winners, 10 group winners and four of those at Group 1. Importantly, he had very high-class race form at two over five and six furlongs, and he’s an exciting prospect for Australia because he fits the profile perfectly for a successful horse here.”
In 2022, Wootton Bassett (Iffraaj-Balladonia, by Primo Dominie) had 200 foals in his Northern Hemisphere crop, and 105 of them (52.5%) raced as two year-olds in 2024 for 41 winners including 13 stakes winners.
“If you compare Wootton Bassett’s figures to the best two year-old stallions here, they are so different and it’s because of the racing system. In Ireland and England, you can have three or four or five two year-old races on one race day over a wide variety of distances, especially in the middle and second half of the season.”
“Here in Australia, if you don’t have a two year-old who can win over five or six furlongs, there’s not as much options to race for them in the first half of the season. In the Autumn even the Sires Produce and Champagne are sometimes afterthought races because many of those horses have gone through the Slipper lead ups and just land there.”
“We can bring elite stallion prospects in from Europe that are outstanding Champion
racehorses, and it’s not that the sire isn’t successful, but our racing structure and programming here doesn’t suit some of those stallions, and unfortunately those horses will struggle to get two year-old winners over five furlongs in Australia. However you can win a Group 1 with them over a mile or further at three. Look at American Pharoah. The perception here is that he’s a failure, but he’s won the last two editions of the G1 Victoria Derby. It’s the race programming that lets these stallions down.
“Epsom Derby winners Galileo, High Chaparral, Camelot, and Quest For Fame are other examples of high profile horses who didn’t ideally fit here. Breeders still tell me that Galileo was a failure here because he didn’t get two year-olds and speed horses. Look at the legacy that High Chaparral and his son So You Think have left when both barely got a two year-old. We should have more seven furlong and mile races in the second half of the season for two yearolds, but you must teach trainers and the buying bench too. It takes time to change the perception, probably over a decade.
“I remember Galileo was not an easy sell to Australian breeders, yet he sired five Group 1 winners and 28 Stakes Winners and 50 Black Type horses from small crops born here. And High Chaparral is going to leave an amazing legacy here with So You Think and his daughters. I was told every week he would not suit Australian mares on the back of his success in New Zealand.
“Until the race programming changes to add more juvenile races in the second half of the season over 1400m and a mile, the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale catalogue is going to focus on the race that was created to support the Australian industry and rightly so. Wrongly or rightly, you have to give the market what they want. In my personal opinion the market is not always right.
“Magic Millions are looking for early types and sales horses for their two year-old race, hence the move towards August foals in the catalogue and only three percent of the catalogue being November foals, but the key
to remember is that you are running against a very very small portion of the population.
“The belief that Australians don’t want to pay to wait is the same reason why our trainers buy imported proven horses. Someone else has done the waiting for them. Australia breeds the best horses in the world over five and six furlongs and it’s proven on the world stage. Europe breeds the best mile to ten furlong horses, and Japan has the best 2400 metre plus horses. The Japanese bought all those Derby winners over the years, like Sunday Silence, and have been very successful over a long period after decades of breeding those types of horses,” said Santry.
The trainer with the most winners of the Magic Millions 2YO Classics – Gai Waterhouse – has won the race on five occasions and incredibly all of those have come since the turn of the millennium. Assertive Lad (Zeditave-Sommes Sound, by Assert) won in 2000, then Excellerator (Marscay-Artless, by Dahar) won the following year in 2001. Dance Hero (DanzeroGypsy Dancer, by Dance Floor) began his charge through the juvenile season with a win in 2004 and went on to win the two year-old Triple Crown. Driefontein (Fastnet Rock-Follow Gold, by Export Price) won in 2012, and last year, Waterhouse in partnership with Adrian Bott, won her fifth Magic Millions 2YO Classic with Storm Boy (Justify-Pelican, by Fastnet Rock).
Gai Waterhouse commented, “Horses who go through the Magic Millions Sale tend to be born earlier and are handled at a very age for that sale. The later foals tend to go to later sales and are given time to mature, but the biggest thing for getting to the races at two is the early handling and being stimulated at a young age. Exercise builds muscle mass and then they cope with racing at two, and often go on at three and four.”

Tesio’s Undefeated Nearco And Ribot Champions In Danehill’s Pedigree
I will never forget my visit to Dormello Stud, situated on the shores of Lake Maggiore just south of Stresa. The famous farm, nursery of champions, was developed by Italy’s leading breeder/trainer Federico Tesio with his dedicated wife Donna Lydia. Considered a “genius” and perhaps the greatest Thoroughbred racehorse breeder of all time, Federico Tesio bred 22 winners of the Italian Derby. He and his wife analysed pedigrees of all major British and European stakes winners, especially classic winners, to identify the best bloodlines.
Part 1 of a 2 part series
by Ken McLean
Today, Nearco’s sire line is mainly represented by Nasrullah, Royal Charger and Nearctic, sire of Northern Dancer. More than 95% of today’s racehorses have at least one of these ancestors in their pedigree.
To compete against Italy’s top racing stables, Tesio needed quality ammunition, hence he decided to venture to Newmarket and purchase specific bloodstock. One of his purchases was five-year-old mare Catnip, a small, plain daughter of champion Spearmint and English 1,000 Guineas winner Sibola. He paid 75 guineas for Catnip who would become the grandmother of Nearco. He paid 350 guineas as a foal for Barbara Burrini (by Tracery’s son Papyrus) and she would become the grandmother of Ribot. During his career Tesio bred classic winners with excessive nervous energy, especially Nearco and Ribot’s sire Tenerani. Their pedigrees expose a concentration of unbeaten St. Simon and his sister Angelica, dam of champion Orme. Nearco (Pharos-Nogara by Havresac II) possessed an explosive turn of foot and even won at 3,000m. Tesio firmly believed Nearco was not a true stayer and won by “class” alone. The versatile brown colt was born on January 24, 1935, when Adolf Hitler was seeking to become Chancellor of Germany. Mussolini held power in Italy and found it necessary to align himself with Hitler thus antagonising everyone in western Europe and the British Isles. Tesio was a loyal supporter of Mussolini. Ironically when Tesio arranged the sale of Nearco to Martin Benson, owner of Newmarket based Beech House Stud, Mussolini tried to stop the sale. Tesio hastily arranged for the colt to be shipped to England. Nearco survived the war years and was twice England’s Leading Sire. Among his best progeny were:
DANTE, Champion 3YO colt England, won English Derby.
NASRULLAH, Champion 2YO Colt England.
ROYAL CHARGER, won Queen Anne Stakes. NIMBUS, won English Derby. SAYAJIRAO, won English St. leger. MASAKA, won English Oaks, Irish Oaks.
NEASHAM BELLE, won English Oaks.
NEARCTIC, Horse of the Year Canada, Champion 3YO colt MOSSBOROUGH, Winston Churchill Stakes
HAFIZ, won Champion Stakes. When Nearco won the 1938 Grand Prix de Paris, the crowd booed Tesio after the colt’s jockey saluted Mussolini in the winner’s circle. Nearco had become Italy’s national treasure. Needing cash flow, Tesio realised he could never manage a stud career for the son of Pharos during the war and sold

him for the colossal sum of £60,000. With almost perfect conformation, Nearco was Italy’s Champion 2YO and 3YO and Horse of the Year. He won all 14 starts with major victories in the Grand Prix de Paris, Italian Derby, Italian 2,000 Guineas, Gran Premio di Milano and Premio Emanuele Filiberto. Nogara, dam of Nearco, was Italian Champion 2YO and 3YO Filly. She was only 15.1 hands high. Tesio rarely made use of her sire Havresac because he stood at a rival stud farm. However, he swallowed his pride and sent Catnip to Havresac to acquire Nogara, a brown filly with a fascinating pedigree. On my visit to Dormello Stud, I saw handwritten notes about this filly and her progeny in Tesio’s private stud book, recorded by Donna Lydia. She wrote - Nogara was a lovely neat, correct foal. Before she died, Donna Lydia mentioned Nogara was Tesio’s favourite of all the horses he trained. I ‘m extremely grateful Dormello’s present owner, the Marquese Niccolo Incisa Della Rochetta, translated details from the Tesio book. (Last Tycoon’s dam has a valuable double of Nogara).
Brilliant at a mile, Nogara’s victories included the Italian 1,000 Guineas and 2,000 Guineas. Her natural speed was transmitted to her champion sons Nearco and Niccolo dell’Arca. Nogara only ever produced one filly foal, namely Nervesa by Ortello (champion son of Teddy), inbred 3 x 4 to Ajax and 4 x 3

to Rabelais. Nervesa was champion at three, winner of the Italian Oaks and second in the Italian 1,000 Guineas. Today, Nearco’s sire line is mainly represented by Nasrullah, Royal Charger and Nearctic, sire of Northern Dancer. More than 95% of today’s racehorses have at least one of these ancestors in their pedigree.
Nogara’s father Havresac was inbred 2 x 3 to St Simon with support from St Simon’s sister Angelica. He won nine of 14 starts including the prestige Premio Chiusura at two and the Premio Ambrosiano at three. He was leading sire in Italy many times. A pure bay who stamped his progeny, Havresac was loaded with nervous energy. Angelica featured as dam of Orme, Champion English 2YO who sired Triple Crown winner Flying Fox. Havresac’s damsire Ajax was unbeaten. Simona, second dam of Havresac, is inbred 2 x 4 to Galopin. Flying Fox was inbred 3 x 2 to Galopin. Despite being a nightmare to train, Flying Fox won nine of 11 starts. Apart from winning the English Triple Crown (2,000 Guineas, Derby and St. Leger) he added the Eclipse Stakes and Jockey Club Stakes before being sold to France for a world record sum. He was leading sire three times in France. Federico Tesio had an enquiring mind and was unique insofar as he combined the duties of breeder, owner and trainer. Throughout his lifetime he remained the jealous custodian of his own thoughts,
ideas and dreams. He consulted nobody about the selection of suitable stallions for Dormello’s broodmares except for Donna Lydia who made a considerable contribution. An artist and furniture maker, Tesio became interested in genetics and analysed anything which could be helpful in giving him a competitive edge against rival stables. In England, Tesio befriended William Hall Walker (Lord Wavertree) and Walter Alston (Lord Derby’s stud manager). In France he befriended Marcel Boussac, leading owner-breeder. While Donna Lydia caught up with the latest fashion trends in Paris, Tesio visited Jardy, Boussac’s beautiful farm near Paris. The Frenchman and Tesio would discuss pedigrees of classic winners and breeding theories. Marcel Boussac followed the ideas of Edmond Blanc, the man who purchased Flying Fox. Edmond Blanc believed in the method of inbreeding and in doing so raised champions. Tesio would try a few matings each year with inbreeding to a superior ancestor. Some would work, others would fail. Apart from concentrating on St. Simon and his sister Angelica when designing matings, the names of Spearmint, Sainfoin and Tracery were always held in high regard by the Tesios. It was tragic that Tracery was sold as a young stallion to Argentina where he became Leading Sire. Tesio matched Nogara’s dam Catnip with Tracery to produce the smart filly Nera di Bicci, winner of eight races including the Premio Chiusura. She produced Neroccia, winner of the Italian Oaks and Niccolo da Foligno, winner of the Italian 2,000 Guineas. Nera di Bicci also produced Nella da Gubbio (by Grand Parade) dam of German champion filly Nereide, unbeaten in ten starts, winner of the German Derby in record time, German 1,000 Guineas and Oaks. Nereide produced successful sire Nordlicht, winner of the German Derby and Austrian Derby. Tracery’s influence continued via Nera di Bicci’s daughter Nuvolona (by Hurry On) who produced Navarro, winner of the Gran Premio di Milano and Gran Premio d’Italia. Navarro was the greatest broodmare sire ever to stand in Italy. Tesio had duplicated Spearmint and Orme in Navarro’s pedigree.
Nera di Bicci’s daughter Nella da Gubbio was a foundation mare in Germany. She is the second dam of Nixe (by Arjaman), dam of nine winners including champion Neckar, winner of the German 2,000 Guineas, German Derby, Union

LAST TYCOON
The importation of Nearco’s sons to Australia was inevitable to upgrade racing performance. Nasrullah (NearcoMumtaz Begum by Blenheim-Mumtaz Mahal) was the sire of Rego and Coronation Boy. Tesio’s favourite filly Nogara contributed brilliance via Mill Princess, a filly with a triple of Nogara
who is dam of champion Last Tycoon, the grandsire of Written Tycoon.
Last Tycoon’s second dam Irish Lass (Sayajirao-Scollata by Niccolo dell’Arca) is inbred 3 x 3 to Nogara and inherits stamina from the 3 x 3 duplication of brothers Pharos and Fairway. Irish Lass won the Prix de Minerve Gr3. Apart from Last Tycoon, Irish Lass produced stakes winner Exbury Lad and Irish Derby winner Irish Ball. One of her daughters Irish Bird (by Sea-Bird) produced Assert (Irish Derby Gr1, Prix du Jockey Club Gr1) and Bikala (Prix
du Jockey Club Gr1, Prix Ganay Gr2). Last Tycoon (Try My Best-Mill Princess) was Champion Sprinter of England and Europe. His 8 wins include the Breeders’ Cup Mile Gr1, King’s Stand Stakes Gr1, William Hil Sprint Championship Gr1, Prix du Chene Gr3, Prix de Saint Georges Gr3 and Prix d’Arenberg Gr3. Ole Kirk is the product of a triple of champion Vain (by Wilkes) who supplies Court Martial and Teddy which have genetic affinity with Nasrullah and Northern Dancer. He stands at Vinery Stud. He won three of eleven starts including the Caulfield Guineas Gr1, Golden Rose Stakes Gr1 and Listed Talindert Stakes. He was second in the Run To The Rose Stakes Gr2 and Listed Rosebud Handicap, and finished third in the Champagne Stakes Gr1 (to King’s Legacy) and VRC Sires’ Produce Stakes Gr2.
Ole Kirk should click with a variety of different mares especially those with a source of Mr Prospector. Why? Mr Prospector’s pedigree shows a “son” of Native Dancer, brothers Bull Dog and Sir Gallahad III (by Teddy) and Case Ace (by Teddy) - strains proven to be successful with Northern Dancer’s line. Ole Kirk’s damsire Bel Esprit is by Royal Academy (Nijinsky II-Crimson Saint). A truly beautiful mare, Crimson Saint is also dam of Terlingua who produced Storm Cat. Crimson Saint’s father Crimson Satan, a very fast sprinter, carries a source of Tracery.
Southport Tycoon and Capitalist are highclass sons of Written Tycoon. Capitalist, a different type to Ole Kirk, is an imposing chestnut whose progeny include such good ones as Captivant, Encap, Marine One, Comrade Rosa, Lazzago and Cannonball. From seven starts Capitalist was Champion 2YO Colt, winning the Golden Slipper Stakes Gr1 (defeating Yankee Rose), Magic Millions 2YO Classic RL, Wyong Magic Millions 2YO Classic RL and Listed ATC Breeder’s Plate. He also impressed when placed in the Todman Stakes Gr2 and Roman Consul Stakes Gr2. His dam Kitalpha is bred on the successful mix of Mr Prospector with Danehill and traces to champion Bold Promise, dam of champion Merlene (Golden Slipper Stakes Gr1).
Southport Tycoon (Written TycoonReady to Rule by More Than Ready) winner of the Caulfield Guineas Gr1 and Manikato Stakes Gr1, traces to famous mare La Troienne, a mare duplicated many times in the pedigree of Ready To Rule who is 4 x 4 to Mr Prospector. With so much Teddy in Southport’s genotype, he should make an influential sire.
Sons of Written Tycoon should be successful with mares possessing a “daughter” of Last Tycoon, thereby reinforcing Nogara. An example of this mix is First Settler (Written TycoonGraciousness by Street Cry out of Lady Capel by Last Tycoon). Bred by Gerry Harvey, First Settler won the
Danehill Stakes Gr2 and is inbred 3 x 3 to Last Tycoon via both sexes. Linebreeding to Nearco has been extremely successful. The Nasrullah link with his three parts brother Royal Charger (sire of Turn-to) produced many two-year-old stakes winners as well as classic winners. Turn-to’s influence in Australia has been substantial while in New Zealand his famous descendant is Sir Tristram, sire of Zabeel. Turn-to is the father of U. S. Champion 2YO Hail To Reason, sire of Roberto and Halo (sire of Sunday Silence). Halo is featuring more often than expected in pedigrees of Group winners. Admire Mars, Japan’s Champion 2YO Colt, is likely to sire Group winners. This chestnut stallion has a triple of Halo and shuttles from Japan to Arrowfield Stud. He is by Daiwa Major from Via Medici by Medicean. Admire Mars won six races including the valuable Hong Kong Mile Gr1, Asahi Futurity Stakes Gr1 and NKH Mile Cup Gr2. His first crop are two year olds. Last Tycoon’s son O’Reilly was Horse of the Year in New Zealand and Champion Sprinter/Miler. He held court at Waikato Stud and led the NZ Sires’ List four times. His progeny always proved popular with Hong Kong buyers. One of his sons Grunt, earner of $1,229,230 won the Australian Guineas Gr1 and Makybe Diva Stakes Gr1 etc. and stands at Yulong Stud, Victoria. O’Reilly sired Champion filly Silent Achiever, 10 wins and earner of more than $3 million. In 2012 she won the New Zealand Derby Gr1, New Zealand Stakes Gr1, Ranvet Stakes Gr1, The Galaxy Gr1, NZ Championship Stakes Gr2, Avondale Guineas Gr2, Waikato Guineas Gr2 all at three years and was second in the Rosehill Guineas Gr1. At four she was third in the W. S. Cox Plate Gr1. Her dam Winning Spree is linebred to Round Table and has four sources of Princequillo. O’Reilly is also sire of Alamosa, earner of NZ $1,241,273 winner of the Wellesly Stakes Gr1 and Avondale Guineas Gr2 as well as Newgate Farm’s young stallion Brutal, 5 wins $2,632,150 winner of the Doncaster Handicap Gr1 and Premier Stakes Gr2. Brutal was runner-up to Winx in the George Ryder Stakes Gr2 and has made a promising start with his first crop to race.
A study of Federico Tesio’s broodmare matings suggests he was willing to experiment with linebreeding and inbreeding to classic winners. He thought out of the box, hoping to acquire any competitive advantage. He used out of fashion English Derby winning stallions to breed their best performers. Apart from his passion to design matings duplicating St. Simon and Angelica, he focused attention on Carbine’s son Spearmint, Rock Sand’s son Tracery, Ajax’s son Teddy, Sundridge’s son Sunstar, and Sainfoin, sire of Rock Sand. Sainfoin is brother to Sierra, dam of champion Sundridge. Tesio used unbeaten Hurry On (dam by Sainfoin)

with frustrating results. He also used sons of Phalaris whose dam is by Sainfoin. Tracery was special in Tesio’s programme. Apart from the fact his father Rock Sand was an English Triple Crown winner, his dam Topiary possessed two strains Tesio wanted to use to design special pedigree patterns.
Champion three-year-old Tracery won the St. Leger, Champion Stakes, St James’s Palace Stakes, Eclipse Stakes, Sussex Stakes and was runner-up in the English Derby at his first start. He was linebred through sons and daughters of elite mare Pocahontas,

ancestress of many English and French classic winners.
Pocahontas was dam of three great stallions, Stockwell, Rataplan and King Tom (damsire of St. Simon). Wellingtonia, inbred to two daughters of Pocahontas, was a leading sire in France.
RIBOT
The mighty Danehill carries a source of both Nearco and Ribot. Danehill is linebred to Tracery. It seems such a shame Tesio died only two months before the little colt named Ribot graced Milan’s racetrack. At two, Ribot was no
standout, being a small, unfurnished colt with short neck and deep girth. He was never considered special among Dormello’s yearling crop. Nonetheless, he was gifted with good conformation. On his debut at San Siro, Ribot (TeneraniRomanella by El Greco) surprised not only Tesio’s partner Mario Incisa della Rochetta but also Donna Lydia with an unexpected victory. Not much was expected of Ribot. Tesio had given the colt the name of a lesser-known French artist. Ribot would become an undefeated champion, remain sound in all 16 starts and rate as one of the greatest performers in turf history. Ribot disliked human company.
The lads at San Siro were taught to be careful around the little colt who could give a naughty kick or sometimes nip his handlers. Before he died, Tesio mentioned “Il Piccolo” was a curious, intelligent foal. Because Ribot’s dam Romanella (inbred to Sunstar) disappointed her trainer by failing to win the Premio Chiusura, Tesio decided not to enter her son in any of the classics. (Sunstar by Sainfoin was a speed influence). Tesio had no idea his masterpiece would soon conquer Europe. At two, Ribot was impressive. Racetrack experience had taught him to be competitive. During the winter months he grew in height and developed physically. Tesio rarely used Ribot’s father Tenerani who stood initially at Dormello. The stallion was a rig and climbed the walls

of his box. Tenerani, an Italian Derby winner, went to England where he won the Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Goodwood Cup. When an offer came from England to buy the stallion in his fourth year at stud, Tesio happily sold him. After Ribot won the Criterium Nazionale over 1200m by two lengths and defeated Gail in the Gran Criterium over 1500m, he was given an unusual programme at three since he was not entered in the classics. The colt began his campaign by winning the Premio Pisa over 1500m by six lengths, eleven days before winning the valuable Premio Emanuele Filiberto over 2000m which he won by ten lengths. Two more victories kept him fit before he conquered an international field to win the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp by three lengths from Beau Prince. His final appearance at three saw him win the Gran Premio del Jockey Club by 15 lengths.
ANOTHER ARC VICTORY
At four, Ribot started seven times and remained unbeaten. Among his best wins were the Gran Premio di Milano by eight lengths defeating Tissot and Vittor Pisani, facile victory in the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot over a mile and a half, and another Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe victory, this time by six lengths from Talgo and Tanerko. He was rated 142 by Timeform and voted European Horse of the Year. Ribot was Leading Sire in Great Britain and Ireland three times, 1963, 1967 and 1968. Among his best progeny were Arts and Letters, Tom Rolfe, Molvedo, Ragusa, Prince Royal, Ribero, Ribocco, Regal Exception, Romulus, Long Look, Graustark and His Majesty. He had an affinity with the strains of Princequillo and Hyperion. John Aiscan wrote: “Tesio always had great faith in the St. Simon line and his ambition was to breed a horse as good, or even better, than St. Simon.”
HIS MAJESTY
Upon inspecting Ribot’s son His Majesty at Darby Dan Farm I noticed he was a different type to his muscular brother Graustark. His Majesty was more like his father. Unfortunately, minor injuries in training limited his career, yet he still won five times in top company. He is the sire of Razyana, dam of Danehill. His Majesty’s major progeny include champion Pleasant Colony, Mehmet, Andover Way (dam of Dynaformer) and Cormorant, sire of Kentucky Derby Gr1 winner Go For Gin. His Majesty’s dam Flower Bowl was by Alibhai, bred on the Hyperion/Tracery mix (like Lady Angela, dam of Nearctic).

KING’S LEGACY
Danehill’s pedigree shows duplication of the Hyperion/Tracery mix. Nearctic’s dam Lady Angela and Flower Bowl have this sensational mix. Flower Bowl’s sire Alibhai hyped up speed. Flower Bowl’s dam by Beau Pere supplied stamina via Cinna and Mahmoud (English Derby). Cinna was inbred 3 x 3 to Quiver and was the best performed daughter of Polymelus. La Fleche was the best daughter ever sired by St. Simon.
Cinna won the English 1,000 Guineas, Coronation Stakes, Norfolk Plate and was runner-up in the English Oaks. Her son Beau Pere (by Son-in-Law) was leading sire in New Zealand before export to the United States where he became a successful broodmare sire.
The other important Hyperion/Tracery mix which catapulted Danehill to fame as a sire was Star Kingdom via his descendants. Star Kingdom was a grandson of Hyperion from Impromptu by Concerto from Thoughtless by Papyrus, son of Tracery. Danehill’s champion son Redoute’s Choice is linebred to Tracery and is the sire of the winners of over $192 million and 139 stakes winners. The best progeny of Redoute’s Choice include: SNITZEL (Snippets/Storm Bird)

MISS FINLAND (Woodman/Sadler’s Wells)
LANKAN RUPEE (Stravinsky/Zabeel)
SAMANTHA MISS (Zabeel/Bold Venture)
LOTTERIA (Sir Tristram/Zamazaan)
King’s Legacy with a double of Ribot in his pedigree is expected to make a sire of fast two year-olds. A medium-sized stallion standing at Coolmore Stud, he won over $1 million taking out the ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes Gr1 and Champagne Stakes Gr1 etc. King’s Legacy comes from the family of Snippets and Not A Single Doubt. His dam Breakfast in Bed won seven times and was stakes-placed in three Listed events. She is a daughter of Hussonet, son of Mr Prospector and brilliant mare Sacahuista by sprinter Raja Baba from Nalees Flying Flag by champion Hoist the Flag, son of Tom Rolfe by Ribot.

Mainbrace ( Admiral’s Luck – Maneroo by Siegfried ) was foaled in 1947 and became one of New Zealand’s all time greats winning 23 of his 25 starts, including 17 consecutive wins. The outstanding Kiwi rider Grenville Hughes was his regular rider. Mainbrace’s notable wins included the Great Northern Guineas, Great Northern Derby, North Island Challenge Stakes, New Zealand St Leger, Awapuni Gold Cup and Foxbridge Plate.
The mighty horse was retired due to an injury which could be corrected today, and went on to a disappointing stud career.
For his epic racecourse achievements he was amongst the initial inductees into the NZ Racing Hall Of Fame.
Clean bowled, no winners last issue, which was surprising given Mainbrace’s distinctive appearance and racing stats. Better luck this time.
INGLIS CLASSIC 2025
The Inglis Classic Yearling Sale has built its reputation on being a sale for good judges and those who seek out a quality physique at good value prices.
The 2025 catalogue consists of 805 yearlings, representing 106 individual sires with yearlings offered by 73 individual vendors.
“If people are serious about finding value in an extraordinarily competitive Australasian bloodstock market, the Classic Sale never fails to deliver,” Inglis CEO Sebastian Hutch said.
“For a sale where the average price of an Australian Stakes winner since 2018 is a little more than $110,000, the quality of horses that continue to come out of this sale defies expectation, year after year.
“Consider results from the sale over the past 12 months alone. A multiple Gr1-winning mare so good she was acclaimed the best of her sex in the world in Pride Of Jenni, a dual Gr.1-winning colt of the famed Doncaster Mile in Celestial Legend and a three-year-old colt in Veight so good he won no less than the Gr.1 George Ryder at WFA, a trio acquired at the Classic Sale for just $540,000 that are now worth many, many multiples of that.”
Over the last six years, there have been 21 Gr1 winning graduates of the Classic Sale and twelve of them cost $100,000 or less, and in that time more than 30 graduates have earned over seven figures on the track. To complete the picture, last year’s top priced lot was $600,000 for Gobi Desert (Too Darn Hot) who won on debut as a two-year-old in November.
“The knack of the sale for producing topclass horses is why it is so popular with so many buyers – think back to the likes of
Choisir, I Am Invincible, Extreme Choice, She Will Reign, In Her Time, Brazen Beau, Yankee Rose, Hellbent, Vow And Declare and Castelvecchio, to more recent stars like Classique Legend, Mazu, Icebath, Pippie, Shadow Hero, Communist, Palaisipan, Coco Sun and others.
“Throw in Hong Kong stars like Voyage Bubble, Beauty Eternal, Hot King Prawn, Super Sunny Sing, Cordyceps Six and the picture becomes very clear – serious buyers cannot afford not to be focusing on Classic in early 2025.”
All the expected big stallions are represented such as Extreme Choice, Snitzel, I Am Invincible, Written Tycoon, Zoustar, Proisir, Too Darn Hot, Toronado, Wootton Bassett, Alabama Express, Ole Kirk, Exceed and Excel, Capitalist, Farnan, Dundeel, Savabeel, Tassort, So You Think, Street Boss, Per Incanto, Shamus Award, Harry Angel, The Autumn Sun, Super Seth, and Pride of Dubai.
“We have already seen through the likes of high-class early season two-year-olds - $1m Inglis Golden Gift winner North England and $500,000 Inglis Banner winner Within The Law, both Classic Sale graduates – that the quality on offer at the sale earlier in the year is exquisite and we are expecting more of the same next February.”
The progeny of 18 first season sires are at the Classic Sale being Aclaim, Acrobat, Captivant, Extreme Warrior, Home Affairs, Jonker, Noverre, Palace Pier, Pinatubo, Portland Sky, Profiteer, St Mark’s Basilica, Standout, Stay
Inside, Sword of State, Tiger of Malay, Victor Ludorum and Wild Ruler.
Of the catalogued lots, 669 are BOBS eligible (83%) confirming that this is a sale for buyers looking for value racehorses.
For those wanting strong pedigrees with their physiques, there are six lots out of Gr1 winning mares, being Lot 22, a colt by Saxon Warrior from Anabandana, Lot 109 a colt by Proisir from Chenille, Lot 404 a filly by Palace Pier from Maid Of Heaven, Lot 422 a colt by Russian Revolution from Murjulisa Lass, Lot 474 a filly by Home Affairs from Nechita, and Lot 715 a filly by Almanzor from Valley Girl.
Leading the five siblings to Gr1 winners is the half-sister to last year’s sale topper, Lot 284 an Astern filly from Hell It’s Hot, making this filly a half-sister to In Her Time and exciting juvenile Gobi Desert.
Lot 182 is a half-brother to Urban Chic by Castelvecchio, while Lot 220 is a half-sister to Silent Sedition by St Mark’s Basilica. Lot 496 is a Bivouac half-brother to Gr1 sprinter Vega One, and Lot 804 is an Acrobat half-sister to Gr1 JJ Atkins Plate winner Capital Gain.
The Inglis Classic Yearling Sale is a must attend for any trainer or bloodstock agent wanting to prove their eye and find the next good value Gr1 winner.
ARROWFIELD
Build your own legend with an Arrowfield Inglis Classic yearling - a super precocious two year-old or a Group 1 three year-old miler, a filly with high residual value or an elite colt.
Like Celestial Legend, the 2024 Group 1 Randwick Guineas and Doncaster Mile hero.
Or Castelvecchio, the Inglis Millennium and Group 1 Champagne Stakes winner at two, Rosehill Guineas winner and Cox Plate runner-up at three – and now a hot young Group 1 sire.
Like Maid Of Heaven, Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes winner at her fifth start, and her first two sale yearlings have sold for a total of $700,000.
Or Lady In Pink who progressed last Spring from city class mare to Group 2 winner on one of Melbourne’s biggest racedays.
Plus Group 3 winners Jennilala and Kibou, and Listed winners Ganbare, Katsu and Namesake –all purchased from Arrowfield at Inglis Classic in the past 5 years.
Best of all, they didn’t cost the earth. Maid Of Heaven was a $60,000 purchase. Jennilala was bought for $70,000 and Namesake, knocked down at $100,000.
$2.9 million earner Castelvecchio, Lady In Pink, Katsu and Kibou were all secured for less than $180,000.
Celestial Legend was a little more expensive at $220,000 – but he’s a dual Group 1-winning colt and his prizemoney so far totals $3.4 million.
Arrowfield’s Bloodstock Manager Jon Freyer picks out 6 lots to kick off Inglis Classic 2025 buyers’ short-lists:
Lot 208 – The Autumn Sun-Fairouz colt
“First foal of a beautifully bred Dubawi mare, he’s a high-class colt with lovely scope, depth and a good action.”
Lot 404 - Palace Pier-Maid Of Heaven filly
“This filly hails from Classic Sale royalty. Her Group 1 winning dam was a Classic Sale graduate the year before her spectacular half-brother Castelvecchio. This big, imposing, lengthy filly is so like her mother at the same age. Best filly page in the book.”
Lot 427 – Farnan-Miss Guggenheim colt
“A well made, neat colt similar in type to his sire. First foal of a talented racemare who was most unlucky not to get black type after mixing it with the best fillies and mares in Group company.”
Lot 541 - The Autumn Sun-Princess Mars filly
“The Autumn Sun fillies have taken all before them and this filly is the right type. Good deep shoulder and walk. Her dam is a half-sister to dual Group 1 winner and Classic Sale graduate Contentment.”
Lot 692 – Maurice-Stylish Beauty filly
“Strong filly with good scope and a great hip to her. From a young half-sister to Hong Kong Champion Beauty Generation, winner of $18 million and 20 races including 10 in succession and 8 Group Ones. Great residual value post a racing career.”
Lot 696 – Snitzel-Sultry Dreamer colt
“Compact, racy colt by Champion Sire Snitzel and a three-quarter brother to the exciting Mr Artemesia, who started at single-figure odds in the G1 JJ Atkins behind Broadsiding. Excellent mover and cast in the mould of so many fine Snitzel two year-olds.”

BELL RIVER
Bell River Farm’s new property has shown immediate results with homebred filly Bel Merci winning the Gr3 Gimcrack Stakes in October 2024. The breeders of this season’s brilliant MRC Thousand Guineas Gr1 winner Another Prophet, Extreme Choice, Ace High, and many other top quality racehorses have demonstrated a dedication to the well being and health of their broodmares, which is shown by Bel Merci being the product of an older mare, and this dedication flows across their farm to all their stock. Their race day results are the ultimate indicator of the way Bell River Farm provides the best environment for young stock to develop.
“I feel like we are just beginning to reap the rewards of the new farm, and Bel Merci is the beginning of a snowball effect where this type of success will become a yearly thing. It is the beginning of an incredible story, as we see the results of the work we’ve put into this farm in the last six years,” said James Ferguson.
“We are now at the point where the new farm is starting to establish and we aren’t just relying on the old farm’s results, which is exciting. Six years ago we bought the new farm, and it’s taken a lot of effort to get here without an unlimited budget. We’ve built this property out of our knowledge base from the old farm and our family. At Bell River, we are a generational family with livestock experience with cattle and sheep and now horses. We know what it takes to run a farm from a livestock point of view with a connection to nature and land, for the long term.”
“We’ve combined what we’ve learned on the way with generational knowledge to continually improve the recipe. It’s not about rocking up at the sale with a draft, it’s about the decisions on the way, the pasture management, the one percenters that make a difference in the long run.”
Bell River will present eight yearlings at the 2025 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.
by Renée Geelen
“This year’s draft are well suited to the Classic sale, being horses who are available to everyone. It’s important to connect with all levels of buyers and this sale does this well. We believe it’s a good sale to show off a good looking animal and get rewarded, and a well credentialed colt, like the Zoustar, can stand out here more than at other sales.”
Zoustar colt, Lot 634, is out of a half-sister to Gr1 winner and brilliant stallion Extreme Choice. Extreme Choice, who stands at Newgate Farm for $275,000, is one of Australia’s premier stallions and an opportunity to buy a colt from this family doesn’t come up often. Bell River have utilised three of Extreme Choice’s young sons, Stay Inside (Lot 319), Tiger Of Malay (Lot 280), and Extreme Warrior (Lot 193) who all have representatives in this draft
Anders sired his first winner just before this magazine went to print with Wisnierska winning at Newcastle in early December 2024, and Bell River will present a colt and a filly by the young sire. Lot 150, the Anders filly, is a half-sister to Gr2 Perth Cup winner Material Man (Vital Equine) who earned over $1.8million and is out of Hussonet mare Del Lirio, who won twice in Sydney including once at two. The Anders colt, Lot 480, is out of Gr3 placed Northern Glory (Northern Meteor) who won three times at two, and has been a good broodmare producing three winners from as many to race with all three winning multiple races. Northern Glory is a half-sister to the dam of exciting New Zealand three-year-old filly, Gr2 winner Alabama Lass.
A pair of Farnan yearlings round out the Bell River draft, led by Lot 452, a half-sister to Listed winner Tashbeeh (Commands) from a strong early running family that includes Valourina, Media, Timbourina, Cardinal Virtue, and Global Quest. The colt, Lot 652, is the first foal of Smelting, a winning full sister to Listed winner Scorched Earth (Nicconi)
from the family of juvenile stakes winners Furnaces and Volcanic Rock.
“Bell River has supported the Classic sale since I was child. It’s a really good sale to sell into the Australia syndication market. You’ll get rewarded for a good type, and you can showcase your brand while providing affordable horses to the marketplace.” BB

BERKELEY PARK
by Kristen Manning
Berkeley Park’s owner and manager Neale Bruce is a renowned horseman whose passion for thoroughbreds is reflected in the superb property at Blandford in the Hunter Valley. Berkeley graduates include such household names as World Champion sprinter Chautauqua, Extreme Choice and Scales Of Justice. Neale is confident there are more treasures to be unearthed in the farm’s 2025 Inglis Classic offering.
Lot 49 bay filly by Zousain from Bare Naked Lady (Walking Or Dancing)
Zousain is off and running with 23 debut crop winners including two stakes winners. Amongst those is the recent Group 3 winner Amelita who, like this filly has Redoute’s Choice as her second dam sire.
This filly is the second foal for a mare who found form quickly, at her second start at two racing away to a dominant victory in the Scone Inglis 2Y0 Challenge. Her dam is a 3/4 sister to the dual Group winners Dandify and Manner Hill.
Bare Naked Lady’s grandam is the multiple Group 1 winner Mannerism who so famously held off that late challenge by Veandercross in the Caulfield Cup-Gr1, 2400m.
Lot 82 bay filly by Exceedance from Brown for Sale (Big Brown)
By another young stallion who has made an encouraging start, she is out of a three time winner whose dam Blues For Sale was great on and off the track.
The winner of nine of her 12 starts including three Group races, Blues For Sale had nine winners including the four time Group 1 (one in Chile, three in the United States) winner Blue Prize and the Champion Older Female In Argentina Blue Stripe who won six of 11 including two at the elite level.
This has been a high achieving family for generations, this filly’s ancestress Lea Lark also ancestress of Miswaki and Southern Halo.
Lot 260 brown colt by Exceedance from Gosetgo (More Than Ready) Exceedance has already sired three winners out of More Than Ready mares, an extension
of the success story that is the Exceed And Excel/More Than Ready cross.
A winner at Kensington at two, Gosetgo is a proven broodmare with all six of her foals to race being winners including the Group 3 placed multiple city winner Condor Heroes and another four metropolitan class horses.
Lot 318 chestnut filly by Capitalist from In Good Time (Time Thief)
She is the first foal produced by a tough and classy sprinter, the winner of seven races including two in Listed company.
Also twice stakes placed, In Good Time boasts an interesting pedigree with her sire and dam hailing from the same prolific Rainbeam (ancestress of 27 stakes winners) family.
Capitalist is a nice pick for her with nine of the 69 winners bred on this Capitalist/Redoute’s Choice cross being stakes winners; a cross that provides for a duplication of Best In Show.
This filly can count amongst her relations the Group 1 winners Laisserfaire, Lone Rock and Personal as well as the classy stallion Centaine.
Lot 471 brown filly by Exceedance from Natural Dancer (Zizou)
Good race mares make good broodmares and Natural Dancer certainly ticks that box having won eight races over sprinting trips, three of those in town.
Her first named foal, the three year-old I’m Zac is already a dual winner from a handful of starts and this is a classy family, Natural Dancer being a granddaughter of the Blue Diamond Stakes-Gr1, 1200m winner Midnight Fever, ancestress of eight stakes winners including the Australian Guineas-Gr1, 1600m winner Rock Classic.
Also on this filly’s page are the stakes winners Woppitt, Astrodame, Mahisara, Ulmann and this year’s Group 3 winner Outovstock.
Lot 560 bay filly by Jonker from Quilate (Bramshaw)
From the debut crop of her Manikato StakesGr1, 1200m (defeating Bella Nipotina) winning sire, she is a daughter of a five time winning mare who charged home from the
rear to win the Ladies Day Vase-Gr3, 1600m at Caulfield.
She boasts an interesting pedigree (the writer of this article happily admitting bias as her co-breeder and breeder of Quilate!) with her fifth dam Wycombe (half-sister to Danewin and Commands) being Jonker’s fourth dam. There is plenty of Eight Carat influence in this pedigree, Quilate being a descendant whilst Jonker’s dam sire Kempinsky is a grandson of Diamond Lover as is Quilate’s dam sire Dangerous.

In 2025, Kirk’s Bridge will offer six select yearlings at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale draft led by a pair of All Too Hard yearlings.

Reeh’s dam is a winning half-sister to three stakes winners being Order Of The Sun, Beauty, and Get To Work, while Gr1 winner Summer Passage also features in this family. “Strong, powerful filly with plenty of muscle. She’s a real racehorse, I can see her in the Inglis Millennium next year. She’s all class.”
Casino Seventeen is one of those wonderful gallopers over in Perth who keeps on winning, and his half-brother, Lot 727 is a Spirit Of Boom colt. Casino Seventeen recently won the Gr2 Lee Steere Classic to add to his Gr2 Perth Cup on New Year’s Day of 2024. All up, he has ten wins and over $1.3million in earnings.

MIDDLEBROOK VALLEY LODGE
When Middlebrook Valley Lodge was sold to new owners in 2020, it was business as usual as winner after winner kept coming from the famed nursery. A change in direction in mid2023, saw Bernie Kane come on board as the Sales & Bloodstock Manager, and whilst the winners continued, the footprint of the farm is growing in the industry.
“I started in August 2023 when the owner was looking to increase his involvement in the industry. We consolidated for 6 months, then went about re-structuring the business so we could grow with the owner’s vision firmly in mind.” said Bernie Kane. As part of that vision, the historic Wakefield Stud was purchased in April of this year, and it will play an important role in the breeding season each year. “We ran 70 dry mares at Wakefield this season, and along with the 90 mares and foals we housed at MVL, it allowed us the opportunity to run them as two individual businesses under the one management structure.” Whilst acknowledging that Wakefield is a long-term project, things are moving quickly however. “We’ve completed the refurbishment of the stable block, and a new spelling facility at the farm that’s capable of holding 25+ spellers at any one time, will open up in 2025.” said Kane.
Along with the infrastructure investment, the growth has also included an increase in the bloodstock portfolio, along with the most important asset-staff. “Rachel Ritchie came on board as our Stud Manager in July this year, and was integral in the success of the season just completed. Her experience across all aspects of the industry has been such an asset to the business already, and we’re building a team around her to drive the business forward.” Kane said. “We also increased our bloodstock holdings through the purchase of some trade weanlings, four new high-quality broodmares, along with a stallion share and an interest in a Colts syndicate. We’re also racing a couple of fillies that we bred, and hopefully they’ll join the broodmare band in time. The owners have a long-term vision, and
by Renée Geelen
by planning for that now, it gives us every chance to achieve that”.
“Middlebrook Valley Lodge has always been successful in the middle of the market. That’s how the farm made their name, and we know our strength is that we breed racehorses for trainers that win races. Last year, we only had six at the Classic Sale as it was a rebuilding year, and this year we have 16 yearlings that are a mixture of either weanling purchases we’re pinhooking, owned by long-term farm clients, or owned by new clients that have come on board for this sale and beyond.”
MVL’s graduate list is impressive, with Gr2 winner Sejardan, Gr3 winners Big Parade, Mildred and Rocketing By, but most notably is the fact that Gr1 winner Divine Prophet and his Gr3 winning full brother and Champion Sire in NZ Proisir, were also born and bred at the farm before being retained by their breeder.
In 2025, Middlebrook Valley Lodge will present 16 yearlings at the Inglis Classic Yearling Sale with sires represented such as Brutal, Capitalist, Cosmic Force, Farnan, Harry Angel, Hellbent, King’s Legacy, Nicconi, North Pacific, Prague, Tiger Of Malay, Toronado, and Wild Ruler.
“Overall, we’ve got a very even draft in terms of stallions represented, with some young up and comers like Farnan & Wild Ruler, and proven sires like Capitalist, Harry Angel, Hellbent & Toronado. Most importantly, they will present well in terms of physique, as we’ve picked horses that fit this sale well, as that has worked for us in the past.”
Gr3 winner Jennilala’s half-sister, Lot 592 is a North Pacific filly from the family of Members Joy, Pure Elation, and Hip Hip Hurrah. Listed winner Broadwayandfourth’s half-brother by Nicconi is Lot 79 and this colt is out of Listed winner Broadway Harmony.
From the family of Might And Power comes Capitalist colt Lot 551 who is the second dam of an Exceed And Excel mare who won six races
and is a half-sister to Gr1 placed Listed winner Buenos Dias.
A three-quarter brother to stakes placed sprinter Capriccio (I Am Invincible) is Lot 388, a Hellbent colt out of Gr2 winner Lonhspresso whose four wins also included one at Listed level.
Lot 8 is a Wild Ruler colt from Listed Inglis Nursery placed African Rainbow, whose first two foals are winners, from the family of Gr1 winner Savana City. Toronado colt, Lot 21, is the first foal of a winning Savabeel half-sister to Listed Macau Derby winner Sacred Man.
Closely related to promising Ndola is Lot 99, a Tiger Of Malay filly from a young winning full sister to Gr3 winner Hear The Chant (Nicconi), dam of Ndola. King’s Legacy colt, Lot 636 is out of a winning half-sister to Listed Canberra Guineas winner Rom Baro.
Lot 27, a Hellbent colt is out of winning mare Anisha, who is a half-sister to Singapore’s Champion Better Life who won the Singapore Derby and Singapore Gold Cup.
Farnan has started well with North England taking out the Golden Gift early in the season and his filly, Lot 218 is the first foal of an unraced half-sister to Listed winner Impetuous from the family of Gr1 winner Demerger.
A pair of Cosmic Force colts will catch the judge’s eyes as the second season sire has shown plenty of promise with his first crop. Lot 9 is out of winning mare Aghna, who ran third in the Listed Wyong Magic Millions 2YO Classic and has already produced a winner of four races. Aghna is full sister to group placed winner of over $360,000 Into The Abyss. Lot 614 is out of a half-sister to Gr2 winner All Roads, who ran fourth in the Gr1 Cantala Stakes. His second dam is Gr2 winner Dancing Daze.
Two Brutal colts round out the draft with Lot 421 out of a full sister to Gr3 winner Sure Knee (Snitzel) and Lot 348 out of a daughter of Gr1 winner Clean Sweep. BB

LIME COUNTRY
THOROUGHBREDS
Lime Country Thoroughbred’s new farm at Blandford is producing the goods with Gr2 winner Straight Charge headlining last season and Gumdrops added the Gr3 Typhoon Tracy Stakes this calendar year.
This season three year-old filly On Display placed in the 2024 Gr3 Thoroughbred Club Stakes at only her second start. Olympic Park won his first two at three this season and recently placed in the Gr2 West Australian Guineas, while Chosen Legend looks very exciting after placing in the Listed Inglis Banner Stakes on debut last season and winning recently at Caulfield. From the same Classic draft, three year-old filly Playlist won on debut in November 2024.
“Olympic Park topped our draft at Classic 2023 at $460,000, and he’s lived up to his good looks with three outstanding performances in his first three starts this season. This sale is one where great types are rewarded, and with the results flowing on from horses like this as well as the likes of Classic graduate Holymanz, a current runner and winner of over $600,000 with three Group placings for owners Cambridge Stud so far. Interestingly, both are bred by our loyal supporters in Jamieson Park,” said Jo Griffin.
“Jamieson Park offer the Tarzino and Almanzor colts in this draft, and Luigi Muollo who bred Lucky Sweynesse has a Sweynesse colt on offer here too.”
Lime Country Thoroughbreds will present 22 yearlings at the 2025 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale with six fillies and 16 colts in the mix. The draft includes yearlings by stallions such as Almanzor, Capitalist, Castelvecchio, Farnan, Hellbent, Home Affairs, Microphone, North Pacific, Pierro, Proisir, Russian Revolution, So You Think, Street Boss, Sweynesse, Tarzino, Tassort, The Autumn Sun, Wild Ruler, Written Tycoon, and Zousain.
A pair of Pierro colts greet the judges nicely with Lot 46 being out of a Redoute’s Choice half-sister to good juvenile Zululand while his second dam is American Gr2 winner Dream Play. Equally well-related is Lot 533, a son of group placed winner of seven races in Poste Restante, who has already produced Gr3 placed winner Aspect Ratio and three other winners.
Farnan colt, Lot 73 is bred to go early and quick, being out of Exceed And Excel mare Boorooj who won twice, and is a half-sister to Gr1 winner Invest, and his second dam is the
by Renée Geelen
brilliant Gr1 winner Unearthly. This is also the family of emerging Gr.3 winner Sunsets who ran third in the Gr1 Victoria Derby. Sunsets has a half-brother by Farnan who was sold by Lime Country at Easter in 2024. “Sunsets’ half-brother has been named Farset. The good early word from the Waterhouse Bott stable is that he will debut in the Inglis Banner Stakes.”
Gr3 winner Chabaud’s colt, Lot 106 is by proven sire Hellbent and Chabaud has already produced two winners from as many to race and this is the family of Gr1 winners Sea Siren and Warm Heart.
Castelvecchio’s first crop have come alive this spring with Gr1 Spring Champion Stakes winner El Castello, and his yearling colt, Lot 303 is the first foal of winning mare I Am Verve (I Am Invincible) who is a daughter of Gr2 Reisling Slipper Trial Stakes winner Pure Energy whose three wins all came at two.
Lot 26 is a So You Think colt out of a full sister to Gr2 winner Mr Mozart (Snitzel) who has retired to stud in New Zealand recently. His second and third dams are both stakes winners and his third dam, Listed winner Polish Princess was a revelation as a broodmare, producing four
stakes winners including this colt’s second dam Euro Angel who won the Gr3 Ladies Day Vase.
Jamieson Park bred the Tarzino half-brother to Listed winner Saint Alice (So You Think) is Lot 565, and Saint Alice has earned over NZ$220,000 in her seven wins to date. Out of a winning full sister to Listed winner Tranquility (Redoute’s Choice), this is the family of Gr1 winner Booker and Listed winner Banquo who stands at stud in New Zealand.
Bred to go early, Lot 793 is a Capitalist out of Listed winner Ygritte (Snitzel) who placed at group level at two as well as winning at that age. Ygritte has produced three winners from as many to race. Another colt from a stakes winning mare is Almanzor colt, Lot 698, is out of Listed winner Summer’s Day (Darci Brahma) who won six races and descends from Gr1 winner Cannsea.
Tassort made headlines with his first crop of two year-olds, and they look like they are training on, which makes Lot 589 an interesting prospect. His three year-old half-sister Grinzinger Pod (Calyx) was a winner at two and recently ran fourth in the Gr3 Thoroughbred Club Stakes at Caulfield and looks to have more black type ahead of her this season.
From the outstanding kiwi family of Gr1 Ellerslie Sires’ Produce (now Sistema Stakes) winner Good Faith comes Russian Revolution colt, Lot 465, and he is the first foal of a Capitalist daughter of Listed winner Mygoodgrace who won five races.
Wild Ruler colt, Lot 668, is the first foal of winning mare Sophomore (So You Think) who is closely related to triple Listed winner Northwest Passage (So You Think). His second dam is the tough sprinting mare Shania Dane, a full sister to Hong Kong star Scintillation (Danehill) who won 12 races in Hong Kong including the Hong Kong Classic Mile. Gr1
winning juvenile Summer Passage is also a feature in this family.
Hong Kong’s Champion Sprinter Lucky Sweynesse’s sire Sweynesse is represented by another from the same breeder in Novara Park Stud’s Lot 565, a colt out of five race winner Snow Line who is a half-sister to Listed winner Princess Emmy, the dam of stakes winners Thurlow, and Three Kings.
The Six Fillies are led by Lot 390, a daughter of Gr2 BRC Sires’ Produce Stakes winner and Gr1 JJ Atkins Plate placed Look To The Stars, whose first foal is a winner this season. Look To The Stars is a daughter of group winner Star Prize, herself a half-sister to Gr1 winner Star Runner.
Written Tycoon filly, Lot 382, is the first foal of Lisdoonvarna, who won five of her first eight starts, and won seven in total including several in Sydney and $300,000 in earnings. She is from the family of fan favourite and multiple Gr1 winner I’m Thunderstruck.
The Autumn Sun fillies are outstanding with three Classic winners in his first crop, and his filly Lot 384 is the first foal of the very quick mare Little Stevie who won seven races and almost $400,000 in prize money, and is from the family of emerging sire Dracarys.
From the family of Kementari comes Lot 789, a Street Boss filly from Wrapsody who won three races in Victoria. Her first foal is a lightly tried three year-old filly, while her second foal, a two year-old colt named General Menari was an impressive September trials winner in New Zealand in his only trial to date.

TYREEL STUD
The 2024 Inglis Classic was an exceptionally successful one for Tyreel Stud with half of their ten strong draft selling for seven figures including a $240,000 So You Think filly. If any reminder were needed of Tyreel’s quality offerings the previous year they sold Coco Sun, winner of the 2024 South Australian Derby-Gr1, 2500m.
Stud Manager Alex Barlow is confident that this is another strong draft and he took us through the eight well related youngsters.
Lot 59 chestnut colt by Farnan from Belfast Bella (Manduro)
Belfast Bella is a three time winning half-sister to the stakes winners Don’t Hurry Me and Bernay out of a daughter of the excellent broodmare Horphaly, dam of the stakes winners Gold And Steel, Befuto and Golden Marvel.
“He is an eye catching colt with impressive depth of girth and plenty of scope,” Barlow said. “He’s got a strong shoulder, solid bone and real substance; he is sure to turn heads in any parade ring.”
Lot 86 bay colt by Stay Inside from Burgundy Belle (Burgundy)
The second foal for a four time winning Group 1 placed mare who is one of the six winners produced by the Group 2 mare Spin ‘N Grin from the family of the Group 1 winners A Little Kiss, Rising Romance, Yearning, Able One, Rebel Raider and Mossfun.
He is line bred to Redoute’s Choice and to that stallion’s prolific fourth dam Best in Show.
“A naturally athletic type with a smooth, ground covering action. He’s been straightforward from day one, and we’re excited to present him for sale.”
Lot 297 chestnut colt by Anders from Honey Cara (Mossman)
A half-brother to the stakes placed Hasty Honey out of a multiple city winning half-sister to the triple Group winner Amelie’s Star.
A member of the prolific Life At Last (ancestress of 28 stakes winners) family, he can
by Kristen Manning
count amongst his close relations Ivory’s Irish, Catnipped, Full At Last, Chuckle, Big Barron, Miss Prospect, Life’s A Bounty and Alynda.
“A flashy colt with plenty of scope and balance. He’s got a powerful hip and well developed hindquarter. We can’t wait to showcase him at Riverside.”
Lot 302 chestnut filly by Stay Inside from I Am Eloquent (I Am Invincible)
The second foal for a Listed winning sprinter (daughter of the stakes winning Choisir mare Choice Words) whose first foal Exceloquent is a $450,000 purchase in the Tony Gollan stable.
“A compact, powerful filly with a well proportioned frame. She’s got a kind nature, an attractive head, and a sharp, intelligent eye; an all-around classy prospect.”
Lot 366 brown filly by Yes Yes Yes from Lanikai (I Am Invincible)
Boasting crosses of the wonderful mares Natalma, Oceana and Rolls, she is a member of the Fairy King sire line from the same prolific Simon’s Shoes family as that stallion. She is a sister to the stakes placed Maili (a $300,000 yearling) out of a dual city winner who has also produced the Listed winner Kalino from the family of the Group 1 gallopers River Dove and Captivant.
“A standout filly with natural strength, scope, and size. She carries the strength of her dam and the quality of her sire. A pleasure to raise on the farm, she’s one we believe will be highly sought after.”
Lot 439 bay filly by Exceed And Excel from Miss Tycoon Rose (Written Tycoon)
A member of her star sire’s penultimate crop, she is the first foal for her four time winning Group 1 placed dam from the family of Mr Vitality, Gunnamatta, Danehill Express, Rose O’War, King Of Danes and Rose Of Peace.

Lot 603 chestnut filly by Street Boss from Sally’s Realm (More Than Ready)
The third foal for a city winning sister to Better Than Ready. Sally’s Realm’s dam Sally’s World is a daughter of the stakes placed Sally Magic, dam of the dual Group 3 winner Publishing and the Listed winner Miss Mooney Mooney from the family of Rancher.
“A well conformed filly with strong bone and striking flashy markings. Her deep chestnut coat and overall quality make her a standout.”
Lot 655 bay colt by Ole Kirk from Snit Ball (Snitzel)
There is black-type aplenty on this fellow’s page with Snit Ball’s dam being a sister to the dual Listed winner Order Of The Sun and half-sister to the stakes winners Beauty and Get To Work.
2024 stakes winner Aardvark also hails from this prolific family as does last season’s stakes winner All That Pizzazz.
“A strong, scopey colt with correct conformation and plenty of bone. He’s got a racy, athletic look that suggests potential on the track.”

Pinatubo
Drizzle covered the Curragh on a gloomy day in September 2019 for the Gr1 National Stakes. Unbeaten two year-old colt Pinatubo (ShamardalLava Flow, by Dalakhani) jumped from the gates and sat mid-field. He threaded his way to the front with 400 metres to go, then at the 200 metre mark, the mist lifted with the sun breaking through the clouds, and Pinatubo bolted clear as if the weather itself was shining down on his brilliance.
by Renée Geelen
The nine length win was simply staggering and described as the defining juvenile performance of the last decade.
“The first thing that strikes you is his racing class. Pinatubo was simply an amazing horse,” said Darley’s Alastair Pulford. “He didn’t particularly demonstrate his ability in the mornings, according to Charlie, but he was the most amazing tempered horse that Charlie has ever had anything to do with. Just very chilled out. It wasn’t until he raced that he showed his ability. Charlie started him out at a lowly track, Wolverhampton, and every time he won, Charlie kept raising the bar and he kept stepping up.”
Trained by Godolphin’s Charlie Appleby, Pinatubo won on debut at Wolverhampton over six furlongs in mid-May, then went to Epsom at the end of May where he won over the same trip on a good surface. From there he went to Royal Ascot for the Listed Chesham Stakes over seven furlongs. He sprinted away to win easily, again on a good track, and was set for Gr2 Vintage Stakes over seven furlongs.
“Pinatubo ran a track record for two year-olds at Royal Ascot, then he won again, then he went over to Ireland for the National which really put him on the map. He came back to England for the Dewhurst at the end of a long season and won the championship juvenile race.”
The nine length win was simply staggering and described as the defining juvenile performance of the last decade.
The National win by nine lengths was staggering in its brilliance and by then Pinatubo had won five in succession from May to September. The Gr1 Dewhurst in October was on a soft track and Pinatubo sat at the back of the tightly packed field before unleashing his usual sprint to win by two lengths. He was crowned the Cartier Two Year-Old Colt of the Year, as the unbeaten winner of six races.
“He came back at three and was very effective. He was beaten three times at a mile, then taken back to seven furlongs and won another Gr1. The only times he was beaten was narrowly over a mile and then was never beaten as a sprinter.”
COVID upset the 2020 racing season and there was no racing in April or May with the Gr1 The Two Thousand Guineas run later than usual in June. Sent out as the favourite, Pinatubo sat in his customary position mid-field and worked hard to get close to the leader, but the mile told on him a little and he had to dig deep to hold on for third. Kameko won in 1:34.72 which was a new record for the race. Pinatubo was a length behind the quinella.
From there, he went to the St James’s Palace Stakes over a mile at Royal Ascot
and travelled last into the turn. He pushed his way through the field, lucky not to get pulled in front of the stewards for interference and galloped to the front. Palace Pier went with him and again the mile proved slightly too far with Palace Pier finishing the stronger of the pair to win by a length.
Two weeks later, Pinatubo arrived in France to win the Gr1 Prix Jean Prat over seven furlongs on a good track, maintaining his unbeaten record at sprint distances. Despite his close losses at a mile, trainer Charlie Appleby set him for the Gr1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp over a mile, and unlike his earlier defeats at a mile, this time, Pinatubo looked like the distance was no issue. He sat at the rear of the field and made his move too late with the runaway leader Persian King putting three lengths on the rest of the field. Pinatubo flew after him and closed the gap to just over a length at the finish. Pinatubo’s sire, four time Gr1 winner and Champion 2YO and Champion 3YO Colt, Shamardal (Giant’s CausewayHelsinki, by Machiavellian) shuttled to Australia from 2005 to 2010, missing a season in 2007, and then his star rose too high and he stayed in the Northern
Hemisphere. His Australian crops included Gr1 winners Able Friend, Captain Sonador, Delectation, Faint Perfume, and Maybe Discreet. In total, his 173 stakes winners include 29 Gr1 winners with many sons standing at stud led by Lope De Vega (ShamardalLady Vettori, by Vettori). Lope De Vega was from Shamardal’s first Northern Hemisphere crop and the dual Gr1 winner now has 139 stakes winners including several stars in Australia such as Santa Ana Lane, Gytrash, Vega Magic, Vega One and recent Gr1 winner Duke De Sessa.
Shamardal has several young sire sons on the rise too with Blue Point showing promise, while Victor Ludorum joins Pinatubo as a young stallion yet to have runners.
“He is just an absolute star, and a beautiful looking horse, very handsome, strong, and muscular. He’s a son of Shamardal, but with more quality than expected, and from a great female line. He’s the best racehorse in his female line and that includes horses like Invincible Spirit and Pride Of Dubai.”
Pinatubo’s dam, Lava Flow, was a Listed winner in France, and she’s produced six foals to race, all winners. As well as
Pinatubo, Lava Flow has produced dual French Listed winner Sundoro (Sea The Stars) who, like his sire, excelled over ten furlongs. Lava Flow’s current two year-old is the Lope De Vega filly Mountain Breeze who won twice in 2024 and placed in the Gr2 Duchess of Cambridge Stakes and Gr3 Sweet Solera Stakes.
Lava Flow is out of the Listed winner Mount Erubus (Barathea) whose dam, El Jazirah, is an unraced full sister to Gr1 winner Rafha, the dam of Gr1 winner and proven sire Invincible Spirit as well as three other stakes winners. Rafha and El Jazirah are also siblings to three other stakes horses including stakes placed Al Anood, the dam of Gr1 winner and successful sire Pride Of Dubai.
“He missed his first Southern Hemisphere season with an eye infection that precluded him from travelling so he’s a season ahead over there. He’s started very well in Europe and has had plenty of winners over there, with a lot of horses who are highly rated by Timeform. In fact, he’s the leading sire of two year-old runners who are rated 90 and above by Timeform this year. We have high hopes leading into yearling sales in 2025.”
Pinatubo has sired 21 winners from his first Northern Hemisphere crop of juveniles, led by Listed winner Tipinso and four other stakes placed winners, being Gr2 placed Wolf of Badenoch, Gr3 placed Cavallo Bay, and Listed placed pair of Qilin Queen and Basalt.
“The general feeling is that the Australian mares will really suit him. I’ve seen a few of his yearlings while doing farm parades for the Magic Millions Gold Coast sale and am impressed with those I’ve seen,” said Pulford. “He’s throwing them in his mould, big strong horses with quality and great movement. We hope the market will like them, and they seem like the right types for that sale.”
Pinatubo has 21 yearlings entered for the 2025 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, five entered in the New Zealand Bloodstock National Yearling Sale, 12 at Inglis Classic and another 12 at Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale. The catalogue for the 2025 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale is yet to be released.
“Darley sent him some lovely mares in his first season.” Pinatubo covered 131 mares in 2022, resulting in 88 live foals who are currently yearlings. Some of the Darley owned mares he covered include city winner Dazzler (More Than ReadyCamarilla, by Elusive Quality) who is the dam of Gr1 winner and young sire
Bivouac, and Listed winner Coruscate who are both by Exceed And Excel. Dazzler has a Pinatubo yearling filly. Dazzler’s Gr1 Sires’ Produce Stakes and Champagne Stakes winning half-sister Guelph (Exceed And Excel) also has a Pinatubo yearling filly and Guelph is already the dam of Gr2 winner and sire Encryption as well as Gr3 winner Emanate.
City winner Essaouira (Exceed And ExcelAlizes, by Rory’s Jester) has a Pinatubo yearling filly, and she is already the dam of Gr1 winners Astern and Alizee, as well as stakes placed emerging sire Tassort.
City winning mare Yavanna (Redoute’s Choice-Wild Queen, by Loup Sauvage) is the dam of Gr1 winner Kementari, and she has a Pinatubo yearling filly on the ground for Darley. Yavanna is also the dam of Listed winners Telperion and Silmarillion, so let’s hope they continue the JRR Tolkien naming themes with her latest yearling.
With his explosive early maturing race record, ability to sprint, and laid back attitude, Pinatubo looks ideally suited to Australian conditions.
LEON’S SPEECH - Part 3
We are delighted to present part 3 of Leon Rasmussen’s 1993 speech, delivered at a NSW Bloodhorse Breeders’ seminar, in full. It is being run as a FOUR part series, parts 1 & 2 can be found in previous issues.
IINBREEDING TO SUPERIOR FAMILIES THROUGH DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS
F Star Kingdom stands out as the most dominant influence in Australasia’s modern-day past, I believe it would be accurate to say that Sir Tristram deserves that ranking among present day sires in Australasian racing and breeding. What he has accomplished since his first crop came to the races in 1978/79 is a litany of record-breaking statistics. In the Australian Bloodhorse Breeders’ Yearbook 1991, I contributed an article on Sir Tristram and why I thought he had achieved such phenomenal success. I felt then that much of it was due to his being inbred to two renowned female families, each hosting considerable “sire blood’ and my research and observations since then have only strengthened my belief.
Sir Tristram’s sire, Sir Ivor, achieved his chef-de-race status essentially as a ‘”filly sire”. Sir Tristram was a non-stakes winner of two races in France from 19 starts. One of these 19 starts was in the 1974 Kentucky Derby in which he finished 11th of 23 in the race’s centennial running. Obviously, Sir Tristram did not earn his opportunity at stud because of his race record. But what about his pedigree?
If I may quote from my 1990 article: “Sir Tristram is inbred to two of the most influential matrons in the Stud Book - Selene, a daughter of Solid chef-de-race Chaucer, foaled in 1919, and Lavendula, a foal of 1930 by Intermediate chef-de-race Pharos. Sir Tristram has Selene 5 x 4 as the dam of Pharamond, sire of Athenia, the second dam of Sir Ivor, and as the dam of All Moonshine, the third dam of Sir Tristram. Lavendula appears 5 x 5 in Sir Tristram’s family tree as the dam of Source Sucree, the dam of Brilliant/Intermediate chefde-race Turn-to, the sire of Sir Gaylord, the sire of Sir Ivor, and as the dam of Perfume, dam of Brilliant chef My Babu, the sire of All My Eye, dam of Isolt, the dam of Sir Tristram.
It will be recalled that Selene, a superior racemare, in addition to Pharamond, also produced the latter’s own brother, Sickle, whose male line through such descendants as Alydar, Mr.Prospector and Fappiano, is rivaling that of Northern Dancer. And of course, Selene also bred the immortal Hyperion, as well as Hunter’s Moon, a notable classic sire in South America.
“A most fascinating aspect of all this is that Selene herself was a product of inbreeding to a renowned female family through different individuals. She had the dual classic winner, Pilgrimage, 3 x 4 in her
pedigree. Pilgrimage, as noted, bred the English Oaks heroine Canterbury Pilgrim who, in turn, produced Chaucer, the sire of Selene. Pilgrimage, also foaled Loved One, the sire of Gondolette, dam of Serenissima, the dam of Selene. Indeed, Lord Derby acquired Gondolette for the sole purpose of using her to obtain a ‘double dose’ of Pilgrimage believing something good could come from that.
Although only a moderate runner, Gondolette, besides Selene’s dam Serenlsslma also bred Tranquil, best in the 1,000 Guineas and St. Leger, and another of her foals, Sansovino, captured the Epsom Derby. Thus, Selene, Tranquil and Sansovino were all inbred to Pilgrimage.
“So, Lord Derby’s deliberate effort to inbreed to this superior distaff family early in the 20th century is enduring and progressing extensively as we are about to enter the next century.

Lavendula, in addition to Source Sucree, the dam of Turn-to and Perfume, the dam of My Babu, also produced Ambiorix, a sire of over 50 stakes winners and America’s champion sire of 1961.
When one considers the ‘sire blood’ tracing to Selene and Lavendula and then realizes that Sir Tristram is inbred to these two incredibly influential foundation matrons, it is not too difficult to speculate that this may be the reason that Sir Tristram for all his shortcomings as a racehorse, is, by far, Sir Ivor’ s most successful son at stud. Star Kingdom and Sir Tristram actually have a great deal in common pedigree wise.
If I am not mistaken, Grosvenor was one of the best stakes winners sired by Sir Tristram and has been one of his better sons at stud. It might be interesting to note that chef-de-race Aureole, sire of Hermes, sire of My Tricia, dam of Grosvenor, also, like Sir Tristram carries crosses of Feola, the distaff ancestress of both Round Table and Aureole and Selene, being inbred to both within five generations.
SIR TRISTRAM (Sir Ivor-Isolt by Round Table) is inbred to the hugely influential mares Selene and Lavendula within five generations through different individuals.
Australia’s Matrice recently designated a Brilliant chef-de-race by Myron Jefka, was inbred, 3 x 3, to full brother and sister Fairway and Fair Isle. He also had crosses of the fabulous Gondolette, 4 x 5. To make his pedigree all the more fascinating, Lord Derby’s superior racemare and producer, the legendary Pilgrimage, appears eight times within Matrice’s first seven generations. Additionally, Matrice’s second dam, La Joconde, was by the celebrated Aussie bred Heroic, who, in turn, was inbred to the illustrious foundation matron, Illuminata, 4 x 3. She bred two classic winners, including that expansive influence Chelandry.
In 1988, Kenmare who stood briefly in Australia, and Kampala, standing in New Zealand, ranked first and fourth, respectively, among the leading sires in France. Kenmare was also the leading sire of two year-olds. Kenmare and Kampala were both sired by Kalamoun, also the sire of multiple Group I race winner Kalaglow. Kalamoun, a foal of 1970, by Zeddaan from Khairunissa, by Prince Bio, won the French 2,000 Guineas and two other Group I fixtures. Unfortunately, considering his impact on the breed, he died prematurely at age 9.
Kalamoun had Nasrullah and his stakes winning, stakes producing full sister, Rivaz, 3 x 3, in his pedigree, both being by Nearco out of the famous Blenheim II mare, Mumtaz Begum. Kalamoun also carried a cross of the brilliant influence Fair Trial in his fourth remove. Fair Trial, by Fairway, was produced by Lady Juror, an equally renowned half-sister to Mumtaz Mahal, the dam of Mumtaz Begum, the dam of Nasrullah and Rivaz. Nasrullah was the tail-male grandsire of Zeddaan, sire of Kalamoun, while Rivaz was the third dam of Kalamoun.
Interestingly, Kalamoun’s talented son Kalaglow, hero of both the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Diamond States and Eclipse Stakes, like Kalamoun,
carried a cross of Fair Trial’s fine son Palestine in his family tree, adding another cross of Lady Juror.
In a comprehensive article appearing last year in England’s Pacemaker and Thoroughbred Breeder, Camilla Power analyzed 1992’s leading sires of pattern winners and examined how these sires compared with their predecessors.
Ms. Power, using European based sires, rated them by percentage of Group Wlnners to racing age offspring and percentage of Group 1 race winners to racing age offspring. Kalamoun was the leader in both categories.
To quote Ms. Power, “Quite outstanding in terms of Group winners from racing age offspring is the short lived Kalamoun, who has outperformed Mill Reef by a margin of two percentage points. His ratio of almost 11.5 per cent is phenomenal, though it will be argued that he is favoured by a small sample size of just 112 foals. Had he lived, his percentage is likely to have moved downwards. However, Kalamoun’s very high figure of Group I winners from foals - 4.9 per centsuggests that he had the ability to sustain that level of high quality production.”
Incidentally, Australia’s Coronation Boy, three times a champion sire of two year-olds and once a champion broodmare sire, was imported by Australia mainly because he was inbred, 3 x 3, to Mumtaz Mahal through a daughter and a son.
Because of the manifest genetic destiny descended from to Lady Josephine though her esteemed daughters Lady Juror and Mumtaz Mahal, it is appropriate to recall the historic case of the American-bred Americus, a foal of 1892 and a sensational sprinter both in the U.S. and Europe.
PHALARIS (Polymelus-Bromus by Sainfoin) had five crosses of the highly inbred Stockwell and eight of his dam Pocahontas.
Americus, sire of Americus Girl was inbred 3 x 3 to Glencoe’s daughter Novice. The latter produced Norfolk, sire of Americus. Novice also bred The Nun, a full sister to Norfolk and the dam of Clara D., dam of Americus. Thus, Americus had own brother and sister Norfolk and The Nun, 2 x 2, in his pedigree.
The implication is enormous when one realizes that Nasrullah, Royal Charger, Abernant, Mahmoud and Tudor Minstrel - all chefs-de-race trace in tail female to Americus’ daughter Americus Girl, the dam of Lady Josephine.
Andrew Reichard, General Manager of The Australian Bloodhorse Review and the gentleman whose energy and purpose were so instrumental in making this seminar a reality, wrote a letter earlier this year to Owner-Breeder in response to an article on “inbreeding of ‘blue hen’ type mares”.
In his letter, Mr. Reichard said, “Your author focused on the potential of inbreeding to Almahmoud and Somethingroyal, two notable ‘blue hens’. If only your knowledgeable writer had been present at a mixed sale in New Zealand, he would undoubtedly have been prepared to pay far more than NZ $1400 (approx. US $700) for the bay colt (at foot with his dam).
Racing as Veandercross, this four year-old gelding winner of A$2 million is now arguably the finest galloper in Australasia. It is a moot point whether or not he is superior to Australia’s Naturalism who ran second in the 1992 Japan Cup. Many good New Zealand judges rate Veandercross the best galloper to emerge from that country in half a century.
Well, Northern Dancer’s female family principally through his second dam, Almahmoud by Mahmoud has proven a potent force when involved in inbreeding. In fact, the examples are too numerous to set down here, but there are some which demand special mention.
He has a remarkable pedigree being inbred 3 x 3 to Nijinsky II (whose sire’s granddam is Almamoud), 4 x 4 to Somethingroyal and 5 x 5 to Nasrullah. He is therefore also linebred 6 x 6 to Almahmoud. Here, in effect, is a horse very closely inbred to both the ‘blue hens’ mentioned in your article and to two of the most influential sires of this century.”
Stockwell, a chestnut foal of 1849, by The Baron out of the supreme producer Pocahontas by Glencoe, was hailed as “The Emperor of Stallions“ - and with good reason. Through his son, Doncaster, a foal of 1870 and winner of the English Derby, Stockwell is the tail male ancestor of the predominant Phalaris male line as well as the still surviving male line of Teddy. Considering only classic winners in major racing countries, Stockwell sired 20 different classic winners and, still considering only major classic winners, 26 of his daughters were classic producers.
Stockwell, in his fourth generation, has the full brothers Whalebone and Whisker as well as their full sister Web. Whalebone and Whisker both won the Derby and one of Web’s foals was the Derby winner Middleton. Whalebone and Whisker both appear in the third generation of The Baron, the sire of Stockwell, while Web bred Trampoline, the dam of Glencoe, the sire of Pocahontas.
It will be remembered that Lt. Col. J. J. Vuillier, the original proponent of dosage, used 10 superior sires and one mare in resolving the proper proportions of these prepotent names in planned matings. The lone mare among the group was Pocahontas, the dam of 2000 Guineas and St. Leger winner Stockwell, the classic sires Rataplan and King Tom as well as several daughters who were notable producers. St. Angela, a daughter of Stockwell’s half-brother, King Tom,
produced St. Simon whose enduring influence may be compared only with that of Stockwell.
There is additional inbreeding in Stockwell’s pedigree. He had the St. Leger winner Orville, 5 x 4, while his second dam, Marpessa, dam of the uniquely celebrated Pocahontas, had Whiskey, a foal of 1789, 3 x 3 in her family tree. Whiskey left his mark as the sire of important daughters.
One of Whiskey’s daughters, Eleanor, captured both the Derby and Oaks, and it was Eleanor’s son, Muley, by Orville, who sired Marpessa, the dam of Pocahontas. Getting back to Stockwell’s great great, great, great grandson, Phalaris, the most visible and significant name in thoroughbred racing and breedlng worldwide.
Phalaris has five crosses of the very inbred Stockwell, 6 x 6 x 5 x 5 x 6 as well as crosses of Springfield, 3 x 4, and Lord Clifden, 4 x 5. As Jay Leimbach noted recently in Owner-Breeder, this “put him light years ahead of his peers”’
Mr Reichard’s letter noted that two crosses of the blue hen Almahmoud appeared in the pedigree of Veandercross, the New Zealand sensation. Well, Northern Dancer’s female family principally through his second dam, Almahmoud by Mahmoud has proven a potent force when involved in inbreeding. In fact, the examples are too numerous to set down here, but there are some which demand special mention.
L’Emigrant by The Minstrel captured the French 2000 Guineas and was a co-champion miler in that country.
L’Emigrant has Almahmoud’s daughters, Natalma, dam of Northern Dancer, sire of The Minstrel, and Cosmah, a stakes winner and stakes producer, 3 x 3. Cosmah is the third dam of L’emigrant. Suprina, the daughter of Vaguely Noble who produced L’Emigrant, also foaled the Group stakes winner, the classicplaced Salpinx, who is even more closely inbred than L’Emigrant. Suprina conceived Salpinx to the cover of Northern Dancer himself. Thus, she is a three parts sister to L’Emigrant with the half-sisters Natalma and Cosmah, 2 x 3. Salpinx is dam of the top class English stakes winner of a few seasons ago, Zalazl, a son of the uniquely inbred Roberto.
Then there were the late Stephan’s Odyssey and his full sister Lotka, winner of America’s Grade I Acorn Stakes. Stephan’s Odyssey won two Grade I fixtures and was second in the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. Like L’Emigrant, they were sired by a son of Northern Dancer, Danzig and their third dam was Cosmah, the half-sister to Northern Dancer’s dam, Natalma, The Affirmed filly Flawlessly, runner-up to Miss Alleged, heroine of the 1991 Breeders’ Cup Turf as the best female turf performer in the U.S. that season, convincingly secured the Eclipse Award in that division in 1992. Flawlessly was produced by the Nijinsky matron La Confidence who carried the richly successful Nijinsky-Round Table ‘nick’ as she was out of La Dame Du Lac, a daughter of Round Table. However, most significantly, La Confidence was also inbred, 3 x 2, to Natalma and her ubiquitous half-sister, Cosmah, Natalma, appearing as the dam of Northern Dancer, the sire of Nijinsky, and Cosmah as the dam of La Dame Du Lac, the dam of La Confidence.

Coronation and Abracadabra
by Andrew Reichard
Hold on to your seats, you won’t see sights like this every day!
Two remarkable pedigrees, one with very close male inbreeding and the least female inbreeding imaginable, the other with the triple Rasmussen Factor (RF), inbred to three different females within five generations, one of only a handful known. Their careers at stud were as diametrically opposite as the method by which they were inbred, which could be a coincidence. Maybe.
1. Coronation 1946 by Djebel (often described as Coronation V) was bred by the French textile magnate Marcel Boussac who established one of the world’s finest breeding and racing operations in the first half and middle of the 20th century. He lost his fortune and most of his thoroughbreds were purchased by the Aga Khan, but that is a tale for another day.
Coronation was the best horse sired by Boussac’s homebred stallion Djebel, she was the Champion 3yo filly in France winning the Prix De L’Arc De Triomphe, The Poule D’Essai Des Pouliches, Prix Robert Papin and was second in both the English and Irish Oaks.
Both her sire and dam were by Tourbillon, a combination we rarely see. Furthermore, both her sire and dam were bred on the same nick, being by Tourbillon out of mares by Teddy, effectively being ¾ siblings.
But there’s more, you knew there would be.
Coronation isn’t inbred to a single female within SEVEN generations, in fact her tabulated 7 Gen pedigree on ARION is the only one I’ve ever seen which doesn’t have any sibling identifiers within 7 generations. The conventions we use to display tabulated pedigrees are well defined, so to see an outlier like this is literally one in a million.
Here we have a highly inbred mare whose parents are almost genetically identical, but without any Female Family Inbreeding (FFI) elsewhere. The final twist in this tale, this very close encounter, bordering on spooky, is that in a cruel piece of irony, Coronation proved barren at stud.
2. Abracadabra by Abernant
Take three mares, mix lightly, stir in some full brothers, allow just over 11 months in a medium oven and hey presto, Abracadabra, you will have a triple Rasmussen Factor (RF). One of only a handful on the planet. Double handful to be strictly accurate.
The list of all known thoroughbreds with a triple RF is as follows:
Abracadabra
(Abernant – Malcolmia by Sayani) 7th dam of Champion Equinox.
Gondokoro (Zabeel – Kisumu by Carnegie)
BRC Qld Oaks Gr1
Zabeelionaire (Zabeel – Kisumu by Carnegie)
SAJC Derby Gr1
Sumitas (Lomitas – Subia by Konigsstuhl)
Champion German 2yo
Ayrshire (Hampton – Atalanta by Galopin)
Epsom Derby, 2000 Guineas, Sire
Thais (St Serf – Poetry by Petrarch)
English One Thousand Guineas
Rembrandt Van Rijn
(Peintre Celebre – Private Life by Bering)
Gr3 placed
(And of course any full siblings of the above)
Note: the Gr1 winning siblings Gondokoro and Zabeelionaire were bred by successful owner/ breeder and longtime Bluebloods subscriber Kevin Delroy. Chapeau sir.
What a collection, just seven known individuals, which include two English Classic winners and two Australian Gr1 winners. We ran a competition in Bluebloods to try to find any more triple RFs, none surfaced, please email us if you know of any.
A wave of the magic wand and we return to Abracadabra, who as her Xray pedigree shows is inbred to the flying filly Mumtaz Mahal, to Scapa Flow via her great sire sons Pharos and Fairway and to Serenissima the grandam of Hyperion. All within five generations. Other key names duplicated in both halves of her pedigree are those of Gainsborough and Sundridge resulting in very strong genetic similarities between her sire and dam.
Abracadabra lived up to her name when retired to stud, she has become the tail female ancestress of not only world Champion Equinox, but also Alizee, Astern, Defier, La Baraka, Triscay, Demerger and others. This strong Southern Hemisphere connection was also evident in her half-sister Malcolmia who became the dam of the great NZ sire Oncidium who stood at the Williams family’s Te Parae Stud near Masterton, which these days is called Little Avondale and run by Sam and Catriona Williams.
Dr Sahu retires
by Peter Falconer
After almost four decades of dedicated service to His Excellency Nasser Lootah and Emirates Park, long serving director of operations Dr Shalabh Sahu will ease into retirement at the end of this month.
First employed as the resident veterinarian of the thoroughbred operation’s Murrurundi headquarters and then subsequently in more broader management roles, Dr Sahu has been widely regarded as the heartbeat of the successful racing and breeding concern since its formation in the late 1980s, going about his daily responsibilities with the minimum of fuss and in his characteristic unassuming manner.
Involved in one capacity or another with Emirates Park even before the fateful Doncaster Handicap success of Secret Savings (USA) back in 1997, the popular industry elder statesman has overseen the breeding of such celebrated racetrack performers as Shamekha, Dash For Cash, Al Maher, Almalad and Fat Al, to name but a few, during his 39-year tenure with one of the country’s leading racing and breeding outfits.
Dr Sahu was also the central figure in the expert handling of Danewin’s fertility challenged 18 seasons at stud which were highlighted by five time Group 1 winner Theseo, history making Hong Kong Derby winning racemare Elegant Fashion, and multiple 3YO Classic winners including subsequent Sydney Cup marvel County Tyrone.
Born in Nagpur, central India, and a distinguished member of the Indian armed forces at one stage of his adult life, Dr Sahu has long since been a popular figure in thoroughbred circles in and around the horse capital of Scone. Indeed, such have been his deeds in the area, the quiet achiever was the recipient of the 2011 Hunter Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association President’s Award for his services to the local fraternity, while he was also directly responsible for Emirates Park’s long term sponsorship of the Scone Cup Festival which greatly assisted the club in growing its two-day meeting into one of the leading Country Carnivals on the New South Wales racing calendar.
A great admirer of Dr Sahu, former Scone Race Club chairman Daniel Morgan put on record his appreciation for his contribution to the region.
“I first met Dr Sahu in the 1990s when I commenced undertaking legal work for Emirates Park. Dr Sahu has always been very respectful and thoughtful of his staff at Emirates Park, he has been a pleasure to work with and has freely shared his enormous veterinary and thoroughbred knowledge as well as his experience.
“Sahu [as he is commonly known] and his wife Sadhana have been very active in the community also, especially at Scone Grammar School where all our children were educated. He was also responsible
for Emirates Park becoming a major supporter of the Scone Race Club, sponsoring the Scone Cup for many years. “The racing and breeding industry in the Hunter Valley is in such good shape thanks in part to Dr Sahu’s contribution.”
Respected bloodstock sales consignor Robyn Wise is one of a host of past employees of Emirates Park who still treasure their time working under Dr Sahu.
A former yearling manager for the hugely successful thoroughbred nursery, she was amongst the first to give her thanks for the time she spent under his wing.
“The racing and breeding industry in the Hunter Valley is in such good shape thanks in part to Dr Sahu’s contribution.”
As Robyn put it: “Emirates Park is a truly special place to raise horses, as evidenced by its legacy on the racetrack, and Dr Sahu is an indelible part of that legacy. Working there was a wonderful time in my life and again, Dr Sahu was an enormous part of that. I’d very much like to thank him for his wisdom, guidance, laughs and, most importantly, his friendship.”
Speaking on behalf of HE Nasser Lootah and his son Hussain, current Emirates Park general manager Bryan Carlson was also keen to pay tribute to a man who has been a supervisor, mentor and friend to countless members of the thoroughbred community -primarily so in his adopted Hunter Valley.
“I know the Lootah family are very keen for everyone to know how grateful they are for Dr Sahu’s service, which is just shy of 40 years,” stated Carlson.
“To think that the stud was first established in Blandford in 1989 and has navigated all the trials and tribulations that come with thoroughbred breeding and racing to get to where we are today … well, it just speaks volumes for the standards Dr Sahu has set over such a lengthy period of time.
“Personally speaking, I’ve had the pleasure of working in tandem with him for the past decade and I greatly value the partnership we have shared.”
In explaining the transition and the great pride he has in his achievements, Dr Sahu
remarked: “I’d just like to congratulate Bryan for taking over the Managing Director role at Emirates Park and I wish him all the very best as the farm continues to surge ahead with one of the most commercial broodmare bands in domestic thoroughbred breeding, of which I am proud to have played my part in developing.
“I have so many fond memories over close on 40 years of service to His Excellency Nasser Lootah, and I am eternally grateful to him for the kindness and inspiration he has constantly shown me. It really means the world to me and I have been blessed.
“I’d also like to show my appreciation to the Australian Thoroughbred Industry as a whole for making my journey in it so rewardingboth on a professional and personal level. I’ll remain a constant visitor to the sales, as well as to many of the major racing carnivals, and I look forward to bumping into everyone whose company I have so enjoyed.
“I would also like to offer a special thank you to my wife Sadhana who has been a constant companion for me and provided unconditional support every step of the way.
“I remain passionate about the Australian Thoroughbred Industry and my retirement is simply a case of me having more time to enjoy it in a bit more of a leisurely fashion.”
PUBLISHER’S NOTE
In an industry where change is constant, where organisations and individuals come and go with unceasing regularity, Emirates Park and its director of operations Dr Shalabh Sahu have stood the test of time over a 40 year period.
Sahu, as he is known, is retiring from his role after a distinguished period of service to Emirates Park and its principals Nasser Hussein Lootah and his son Hussein. Over this period, Sahu and Emirates Park have been loyal supporters of our publications, Bluebloods and STALLIONS. Sahu and his wife Sadhana have become great friends of the Reichards and we have enjoyed many happy occasions together along with our extended families.
On behalf of Margaret, David and all here at Bluebloods let me wish Sahu and Sadhana a very happy and healthy retirement. I look forward to our continued friendship.

Dark Angel spreads his wings
This year has borne witness to something of a departure in the history of the Britain and Ireland champion sire title. Never before in the past 50 years has there been a champion sire like Dark Angel whose stock aged three and up have an average winning distance of less than a mile, in his case 7.8 furlongs.
by John Boyce
Typically, racing in Europe has been engineered to favour the sires that can produce top class middle distance performers as Gr1 championship races outside the sprint spectrum have been lavished with far more prize money. It is therefore to Dark Angel’s credit that he’s become the first such sire to land the championship and he has achieved the feat by combining quality – principally in the shape of European Champion Miler Charyn and Gr1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes winner Khaadem – with the earnings from over 260 runners, which is more than any other sire this year. History shows us that only 15 other sires, based in Britain or Ireland, have been crowned champion sire since 1970, and only
five of them had a lifetime progeny stamina index of less than ten furlongs. The champion sire that comes closest to Dark Angel’s profile is Coolmore’s Danehill Dancer who was champion in 2009. Like Dark Angel, Danehill Dancer was a smart two year-old (Timeform 117) rated just four pounds higher than Dark Angel which was good enough form to land him the Gr1 Phoenix Stakes. But unlike the Yeomanstown stallion many of Danehill Dancer’s top runners conceived in Ireland were middle distance horses. In fact, he never sired a Gr1 winning sprinter like Dark Angel did with the likes of Battaash (Timeform 136) and Harry Angel (Timeform 132). Danehill Dancer’s top six Gr1 winners by Timeform rating all stayed a mile and a
quarter and feature the top class 129 rated Mastercraftsman who contributed greatly to his sire’s title in 2009.
The only other champion sire with a stamina index of less than nine furlongs is Danehill Dancer’s sire Danehill who bridged the gap between the Sadler’s Wells (14 titles) and Galileo (12 titles) dynasties with three championships from 2005 to 2007. As everyone knows, Danehill was an extraordinary sire, not least for his ability to come up with top class progeny at all manner of distances. His Timeform 130 plus Gr1 winners from his northern crops feature sprinter Mozart (131), milers Rock of Gibraltar (133) and George Washington (133), middle distance stars Dylan Thomas (132) and Duke of Marmalade
(132), as well as stayer Westerner (130). Dark Angel is also unique among the home based champion sires in that the six furlongs of both his Gr1 Middle Park and Gr2 Mill Reef victories was his maximum winning trip, and it was unlikely he would have been tried over longer had he stayed in training at three after leading for a long way before beating just one home in New Approach’s Dewhurst over seven furlongs on his final start at two.
Agree with it or not, it is the prize money tables that still decide who wears the crown in every jurisdiction where there is a breeding industry. However, it would be remiss of me not to mention that it is Dubawi who leads the Stakes winner count in Britain and Ireland with 16, as he does in Europe with 25. At the time of writing and with virtually no opportunities for his rivals to close the gap, he leads the field by six in Europe, but by only two on the home front. Internationally, he has also delivered more Stakes winners than another sire, his 33 currently just two ahead of Lope de Vega. Moreover, among the sires with ten or more Stakes winners, his strike rate at 10.3 per cent is better than all others bar his own remarkable sire son Zarak, who weighs in with 19 Stakes winners at an impressive 12.2 per cent to runners. Dubawi has also sired the most Group winners (20) across the world but has to give way to Lope de Vega (six) and Wootton Bassett (five) among active sires when it comes Gr1 winners.
On the two year-old front, this season has been all about Wootton Bassett’s first crop of Coolmore sired two year-olds. And they certainly did not disappoint. His 20 Stakes horses, 13 Stakes winners, and ten Group winners all represent single crop world records for a sire of two year-olds, while his four Gr1 winners equals the number sired by Justify last year and is only one fewer than Sadler’s Wells’ five sired in 2001. Moreover, Wootton Bassett’s strike rates are broadly similar to all the major sires he’s deposed this year, so his records are not all due just to sheer weight of numbers, they are the result of his access to better mares at his new home. Remarkably, 66 per cent of Wootton Bassett’s 56 Stakes winners to date are two year-old Stakes winners, although his five Timeform top-rated Gr1 winners, Almanzor (133), King of Steel (125), Al Riffa (125), Wooded (121), and Audarya (120) were all at their best at age three and above.
Wootton Bassett also leads the race to be Britain and Ireland’s champion two year-old sire by earnings and occupies the same place on the European charts. However, given that all his four Gr1 winners earned their top flight status outside Britain and Ireland, it is Mehmas and No Nay Never that are joint top with seven juvenile Stakes winners apiece in Britain and Ireland. Mehmas, too, has been rewriting the record books with his world record tally of 66 individual single season two year-old winners, already five more than his stud companion Kodiac’s record 61 winners sired seven years ago. Bred on the same Acclamation/Machiavellian cross as champion sire elect Dark Angel, Mehmas is far from a one dimensional winner getter and he has nine juvenile Stakes winners to his name this year, including three – Magnum Force, Scorthy Champ and Vertical Blue – at Gr1 level, which ties him with five other sires behind only Wootton Bassett and Galileo on the all time list of leading sires by single season Stakes
LEADING SIRES IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND 2024
winners. Just like Wootton Bassett, Mehmas has benefitted enormously from the better class mares, in his case those he covered in his fifth season, earned on the back of his world best 56 first crop winners which featured Gr1 Middle Park winner Supremacy.
None of this year’s first crop sires has got anywhere near Mehmas’s first year score and the tables in Britain and Ireland, as well as
Europe, are delicately poised, with Mohaather and Sergei Prokofiev locked on 19 winners apiece ahead of Pinatubo (17) in the Britain and Ireland race, while Sergei Prokofiev (23 winners) leads the Europe race from Mohaather and Pinatubo, with 21 apiece. Mohaather (three) is the only freshman so far this year to sire more than two Stakes winners.
Why Phalaris? What made him so special?
by Rommy Faversham
Much deserves to be bestowed upon of the speed laden mega stirp of Phalaris (1913) that developed a truly overwhelming dominance over all other male lines, leading to a collectively slow but steady diminution in their numbers. Simultaneously, Phalaris’ share of the sire line spectrum grew in exponential fashion as success begat success. For the last one hundred years, all competing sire lines have seen their figures markedly regress, ultimately to extinction in most cases. In this perpetual ‘survival of the fittest’ environment, no other male line has been able to transmit the overall brilliance and classicity of Phalaris whose tail male line now finds itself encompassing over 95% of the world’s population of thoroughbreds.
A bay foal of 1913, Phalaris was described as sound, genial and of strong constitution who developed into a high class sprinter/miler in England during World War I. At the time, Phalaris’ own male line, that of Stockwell through Bend Or (Tadcaster), was clearly overshadowed by a number of others led by the mighty line of St. Simon.
Preference follows performance and with very few exceptions, commercial thoroughbred nurseries have never shown much interest in the value of sire line diversity at the expense of other factors. Instead, the choice is to continually paint their cash cow’s paternal line into a rapidly shrinking corner - to be left, ironically, for their own descendants or other replacements to deal with. I remember starting to take note of this continuous compression of the sire line spectrum and soon found an opportunity to bring it up for discussion in the 1993 Bluegrass breeding tome, Bred To Run by Mike Helm.
The first breeding theorist to start to appreciate the skyrocketing success of the Phalaris sire line was Tesio biographer Franco Varola who, in the 1970s, identified this stallion to be, “the most influential single factor that stands between the Thoroughbred of the past and the Thoroughbred of the present”. He referred to the overall phenomenon as the Phalaris Revolution.
The fact is, no other thoroughbred stallion has ever come to dominate the sire line ranks in relatively such short order. Herod (1758) and his son Highflyer (1774) held complete dominance in terms of classic winners and sire titles from the late 1700s well into the 1820s. But by mid-century, the Highflyer line was beginning to show a loss of vitality and by the turn of the century, it was effectively extinct.
My own rather binary take on the matter was presented as the Phalaris / Non-Phalaris Theory which ran in three parts in the well-regarded but bygone breeding journal, Owner•Breeder in the summer of 1991.
As a sire line, Phalaris has been enriched by other lines to a much greater degree than the overall maternal contribution it has supplied to distinct (Non-Phalaris) sire lines. Indeed Varola noted the Phalaris line to be a decidedly masculine one claiming, “there is an apparent relative mediocrity of the performance of Phalaris-sires as maternal grandsires of the sires of Classic winners (with any) weight on the distaff side by sheer force of numbers.” One need only become familiar with the contrasting impacts of the Phalaris and NonPhalaris lines for much of the world during the second half of the twentieth century to appreciate this. By the turn of this century and only by sheer numbers, maternal sides of pedigrees started becoming increasingly dominated by Phalaris-line sires as well.
Why Phalaris? One simple explanation for his long term sire line success was that it “had to be someone”. Indeed, several well versed pedigree buffs are noted to have chalked the revolution up to purely random events. For myself, I think this continuous disappearance of the competing lines is not a good thing and has probably been caused by a multitude of factors.
In addition to
1) Phalaris’ aforementioned masculine nature (1), the list would include:
2) Inbreeding to the Phalaris male line was, for a lengthy period of time, relatively uncommon (inbreeding to the tail-male line has not in the long run proved to be a productive practice).
3) The sire line’s ability to form strong affinities, including the formation of female family inbreeding patterns. Also the extraordinary results from the Phalaris/Chaucer nick, responsible for lighting the fire.
4) The line’s constant propensity to express both speed and precocity
5) The sire line’s ability to traverse between the qualities of brilliance and classicity (transbrilliance)
6) If the only common denominator amongst Phalaris-line thoroughbreds is their top pedigree line, it would certainly suggest there are genomic advantages within Phalaris’ Y chromosome. And yet to this point, no important differences have been established. By far the smallest of the male horse’s 64 chromosomes, the Y appears to be integrally involved in issues regarding infertility. Breeding history reminds us of once strong sire lines hindered in this manner (i.e The Tetrarch and St. Germans).
It just seems it would be an impossible coincidence that almost every contemporary individual descends in tail-male to Phalaris when the sire line from which he himself descended set out with a distinct numerical disadvantage compared to a number of other lines. Then there is the hypothetical as to whether one of the planet’s two mega-branches of Phalaris: Northern Dancer vs. Mr. Prospector will ultimately gain likewise supremacy, becoming so to speak, the new Phalaris. Preferences in racing surface could play a factor.
As for the bottom-half of thoroughbreds’ pedigrees, female families have maintained a much richer spectrum of diversity despite facing the same Darwinian conditions. The high mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity observed in thoroughbreds and other modern domestic breeds corroborates the preservation of diverse wild ancestral maternal lineages. Within this myriad of tribes, branches have come and gone as a result of their relative successes and/or failures.
Of particular note, there are a diminishing number of active female families that feature a cluster of influential sires, These so-named sire families were first identified by C. Bruce Lowe and William Allison in the late 1800s and then later by Dennis Craig in the 1960s. Since it is these sire families that provide most of the complementary strains involved in female family inbreeding (FFI), their decreased presence leads to significantly fewer RFs. This is, in fact, what we have begun to observe. For instance, the 2024 Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar featured a total of 131 starters in eleven races with only 4 RFs or three percent for the entire venue. Nevertheless, two of the event’s winners featured pedigrees demonstrating the Rasmussen Factor.
The fact is, there have simply been no recent relationships among breed shaping sires like Northern Dancer had with his close relative Halo, or the former’s son Sadlers Wells with his three-quarter brother Nijinsky II on the foreseeable horizon.
The family of Allegretta (Ger) and her Arc-winning daughter Urban Sea (USA) appears to be the best contemporary international example of a sire family and, as such, a particularly valuable resource in the construction of new female family inbreeding patterns including two of the last four Arc winners. Conversely, Australian breeders have access to a solid array of blood from Urban Sea’s
super-sire Galileo but have much fewer opportunities in finding that second complementary strain.
Up to the present, the most common source(s) of female family inbreeding were pedigrees demonstrating a pair of stallions from the same immediate family. For now, the strategy that creates the most opportunities for the formation of FFI patterns will be inbreeding to the tail-female line, particularly those that have already issued at least one influential sire who currently appears in the pedigree of a number of effective stallion candidates.
As such, one must dig deeper into a thoroughbred pedigree to ferret out some of the really valuable patterns which present themselves in the sixth and even seventh generations, but elude identification within the standard fourth or fifth generations. Andrew Reichard’s introduction of made-to-order color-coded “x-ray pedigrees” at Bluebloods is a most welcome development.
A good example of a seven generation x-ray pedigree that reveals critical structure created by female family inbreeding which is hidden with fewer generations is the Kentucky-bred Hall of Famer and foundation stallion, A.P. Indy. Here we are presented with a most auspicious triad of very close relatives - three stakes-winning daughters of War Admiral: Striking, Busher and Busanda, all three out of La Troienne mares. This legendary cross had already yielded a total of sixteen foals, seven of which became black-type winners. No wonder Seattle Slew did so well with Buckpasser blood in general. For good measure, inbreeding to the superior female Lavendula is also present. Finally, A.P. Indy’s stakes winning dam, Weekend Surprise, demonstrates two close complementary strains of Broodmare of the Year Somethingroyal.
But now as we enter an age capable of creating the mind altering fusion of thoroughbred genomics and artificial intelligence, one can only wonder how the overall experience of breeding and racing thoroughbreds will be effected. The limitless number of algorithms will lead to previously unrecognizable yet highly significant patterns to emerge forging a whole new selection process. And what of the playing field? Will the sport remain competitive and therefore viable? Again, it really seems we have painted ourselves into a corner, one way or the other.

Pedigree Points, a measure of inbreeding, now available for selected yearling sales
by Andrew Reichard
In the previous issue Bluebloods introduced a new method of rating the amount of inbreeding in a pedigree on a scale of zero to 100.
Pedigree Points (PP) ratings for the highest rated 199 of the 1021 lots in Book One of the 2025 Magic Millions sale can now be purchased from Bluebloods.
The average PP for this sale is 53 (similar to most sales).
The median PP for this sale is 50 (similar to most sales).
In book one 199 lots (19.5%) have a PP of 60+ and 51 lots (5%) have a PP of 70+
In the recent editions of Bluebloods we published the following table which shows that the average scores of elite thoroughbreds are far higher than the average in current commercial catalogues.
TEST RESULTS and BASELINE GROUPS (PP)
# Study Group Average PP
1. 29 mares, subjects of the RF among 205 stallions in GTSOW 82
2. 22 Australian Champion Sires 1950/1999 78
3. 50 most recent sires chronologically in GTSOW 73
4. All 205 sires in GTSOW 72

10. 76 acceptors in four Sydney Highway races 2024 50
11. 133 acceptors around Australia in maidens, picnics 2024 49
There is ongoing evidence to indicate that the amount of inbreeding in the commercial population is not randomly distributed across performance levels.
WFA racing
There were 34 Gr1 WFA races in the 23/24 Australian season which were contested by 218 individual runners.
The average PP of the runners was 52.7
The median PP of the runners was 53
25.2% of the WFA runners had a PP of 61+
Vs 19% of the MM 2025 catalogue at 60+
10.1% of the WFA runners had a PP of 70.5+
Vs 5% of the MM 2025 catalogue at 70+
The current Australian WFA star Mr Brightside has a highly inbred genetic makeup which gives him a PP of 83.9, highest amongst Australia’s current WFA horses.

APEX RATINGS for Australia 2024
Introducing new improved APEX TABLES for both countries, exclusive to BLUEBLOODS. BLUEBLOODS is now able to present APEX tables, in an improved format showing separate tables for Australia and New Zealand. APEX tables for Australia show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in Australia. APEX tables for NZ show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in NZ. There are now three separate tables for each country: the default ratings are for horses with at least 150 year starters in the previous seven rolling seasons (runners count as year starters in each season they compete and earn prizemoney); then there are also tables for horses with 100 year starters and 30 year starters which give an insight into the progress of first and second season sires or stallions which serve smaller books. Finally, to recap, APEX A runners are those which earn an amount in the top 2% each season, B runners the next 2%, C runners the next 4%.
Therefore ABC runners are those earning an amount that falls in the top 8% each season (2+2+4).
For further explanation refer to previous issues. Special thanks to Arion Pedigrees NZ who have developed these tables for Bluebloods and to respected analyst Bill Oppenheim whose brainchild they are. Andrew Reichard, Publisher.

APEX RATINGS for New Zealand 2024
Introducing new improved APEX TABLES for both countries, exclusive to BLUEBLOODS. BLUEBLOODS is now able to present APEX tables, in an improved format showing separate tables for Australia and New Zealand. APEX tables for Australia show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in Australia. APEX tables for NZ show ratings for only those stallions which stand (or have stood) in NZ. There are now three separate tables for each country: the default ratings are for horses with at least 150 year starters in the previous seven rolling seasons (runners count as year starters in each season they compete and earn prizemoney); then there are also tables for horses with 100 year starters and 30 year starters which give an insight into the progress of first and second season sires or stallions which serve smaller books. Finally, to recap, APEX A runners are those which earn an amount in the top 2% each season, B runners the next 2%, C runners the next 4%. Therefore ABC runners are those earning an amount that falls in the top 8% each season (2+2+4).
For further explanation refer to previous issues. Special thanks to Arion Pedigrees NZ who have developed these tables for Bluebloods and to respected analyst Bill Oppenheim whose brainchild they are. Andrew Reichard, Publisher.

Adlerflug – the flight of eagles
by Andrew Reichard
He clasps the crag with crooked hands; Close to the sun in lonely lands, Ring’d with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; He watches from his mountain walls, And like a thunderbolt he falls.
The Eagle – a fragment, by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Goliath’s win against some of the world’s finest horses including Auguste Rodin and Dubai Honour in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth S Gr1 over one and a half miles at Royal Ascot in late July served to focus the spotlight on his German sire Adlerflug. His Arc winning son Torquator Tasso is another world class galloper among his NINE individual Gr1 winners.
Adlerflug’s career stats are 294 Runners, 32 SW (10.88% SW/R), 9 Gr1 W (3% Gr1W/R and 28% Gr1W/SW). These are industry leading stats on all counts so this stallion is worth a closer look.
Adlerflug is a dual Gr1 winning grandson of Sadler’s Wells, winner of the Deutsches Derby he was Champion 3yo of Germany and was Gr1 placed in France as a 5yo, a high class galloper. His pedigree is even better as the Xray pedigrees on the right show.
His sire In The Wings and broodmare sire Last Tycoon are both bred on a similar Northern Dancer/ Mill Reef cross. In fact Adlerflug and his sire are both bred on the Sadler’s Wells/ MillReef cross which creates close inbreeding to the Blue Hen mare Lalun, a pattern which has been one of the most successful for Sadler’s Wells in all its iterations via returns of Mill Reef, Shirley Heights and Darshaan.
But the piece de resistance is Adlerflug’s strikingly similar similar genetic makeup to the great Galileo. They are both Sadler’s Wells line sires and their second dams are full sisters, both by Lombard out of Anaterka. Additionally in both cases the sire of their dam has a daughter strain of Buckpasser.
The combination of the Sadler’s wells sireline with the female family of Anatevka/Allegretta/ Urban Sea has been responsible for some of the world’s leading performers of recent years including two Arc winners, undefeated Ace Impact and Torquator Tasso, Galileo himself and Australia’s flying filly Asfoora, winner of the Royal Ascot King Charles S, Gr1. Both Ace Impact and Torquator Tasso are inbred to Allegretta satisfying the conditions for The Rasmussen Factor. As is so often the case, and as I regularly take the opportunity to remind my readers, in both cases they are the best horse sired by the stallion, no disrespect to Goliath.
Adlerflug’s finest son Torquator Tasso ran second in the King George and Queen Elizabeth S as a 5yo (the race Goliath won) but in addition he won the Arc and ran third in the same race the following year before retiring as a triple Gr1 winner.
His fascinating Xray pedigree appears (right) showing that his sire and dam traced closely in direct female line to the full sisters Alya and Allegretta, both by Lombard out of Anatevka by Espresso. This is the Formula One pattern of the RF shared by Coup De Folie, Numbered Account, Thatching, Blue Larkspur, Tourzima, Quiet American and the influential stallion Wellingtonia just to mention a few.
