Tyreel

by Kristen Manning

The name Tyreel Stud is synonymous with quality and off the back of a successful 2018 Magic Millions, the Monds family stud presents another classy draft.

In the lead up to the sale Bluebloods had a chat with Tyreel’s Stud Manager Robert Sims...

What can buyers expect from your draft?

Tyreel will be presenting a sharp, well-presented draft of ten, one that nicely represents some of the key elements that make up a desirable Magic Millions draft. Lots by proven speed sires Snitzel, I Am Invincible, Exceed And Excel, Choisir and Zoustar whilst the draft also showcases the highly anticipated first season sire Pride Of Dubai with two strong colts.

Lot 382 - bay filly by Kermadec from Bana Wu (by Shirocco): “a real quality” daughter of an imported triple stakes placed winner from the family of Caulfield Cup-Gr.1, 2400m winner All The Good. Boasting duplications of the outstanding mares Natalma, Almahmoud and Milan Mill, she “is one of the most highly regarded types by her sire and will be sure to draw plenty of attention.”

Lot 444 - chestnut colt by Pride Of Dubai from Catalonia (by Flying Spur): “a strong, masculine colt” out of a stakes placed mare whose first two have fetched $625,000 and $750,000. Dam is a 3/4 sister to the Group Three winner Jorda from a prolific local family “littered with two-year-old speed. He is a brother to Espaaniyah who won the 500K Inglis Bonus race on debut Saturday 27th October at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate day. Gai and Adrian have extremely high opinions of her.”

Lot 448 - bay filly by Exosphere from Champalou (by Encosta de Lago): “a powerfully built” half-sister to the first Tyreel/Monds stakes winner Champ Elect out of a metropolitan winning daughter of the Queensland Oaks-Gr.1, 2400m heroine Vouvray.

TYREEL WILL BE PRESENTING A SHARP, WELL-PRESENTED DRAFT OF TEN, ONE THAT NICELY REPRESENTS SOME OF THE KEY ELEMENTS THAT MAKE UP A DESIRABLE MAGIC MILLIONS DRAFT.

Grandam is the stakes winner Miss Helga, sister to the Group Three winner Alexis and the Listed winner Freshwater Pearl. “She has a mature mind complemented by the sharp, neat action so often seen in the early Exceed And Excels.”

Lot 821 -bay/brown colt by Zoustar from Miss Valor (by Hinchinbrook): boasting duplications of Fairy Bridge, Natalma and Best In Show, he is the first foal for a daughter of the Group Three mare Saint Minerva from the family of Rhythmic Charm. “He is a real credit to the breed, a really precocious type with strength and quality.”

Lot 921 - chestnut colt by Dawn Approach from Bodega Miss (by Canny Lad): “an uncomplicated colt who oozes athleticism and strength, “ his dam is out of the multiple city winner Cellar Edition, half-sister to the stakes placed Dai Ichi and O’Lonera.

Tyreel has already been represented by a smart type in the making from the 2018 draft with Star Witness colt Exceed The Stars (a $220,000 yearling) sent out favourite at debut in the Breeders Plate-Gr.3, 1000m; finishing a gallant three length sixth after being trapped wide throughout.

Which horse has been your biggest giveaway to do the job on the track? As any commercial breeder would tell you we don’t aim to give anything away.

Some of our best purchases for buyers have been at all levels from Espaaniyah (a Gai Waterhouse/Adrian Bott trained I Am Invincible filly previously mentioned) at $750,000 to Malahide for $60,000 who was Shamus Awards; first city winning two year-old. There are horses at all levels within our drafts. Both look good value now.

How has technology and IT affected and influenced your business?

It has greatly modernised the business allowing us the ability to access information immediately. It has also allowed us to develop more of a personal aspect to our farm as through social media and film technology advancements we can now take interested parties on a part of our horses’ journeys to the sales. We feel it is an important tool in developing our brand, product and most importantly showcasing our horses to the wider audience.
