Yellow Star Stud Welcome New Arrival
| Share |
Grade 1 Golden Horse Sprint record-holder Kildonan has arrived safely at Koos and Lorraine de Klerk's Yellow Star Stud.
By Rich Man's Gold out of Cathay Firth by French stallion Philippi, Kildonan was trained by Mike de Kock.
Kildonan won five races and was unbeaten in his first three starts at age 2. His win in the 2007 Golden Horse Sprint Grade 1 was a speedy 67.00 and has yet to be repeated since. World-class South African sprinter JJ The Jet Plane won the same race in 2008 in a time of 67.62.
He added the Graham Beck Stakes Grade 3 to his wins, and placed second in his last career start in South Africa, the Champions Cup Grade 1, just 0.75 of a length behind African Appeal. Coming off a draw of 15 and carrying more weight then African Appeal, Kildonan might have snagged this victory from African Appeal. He placed third in the Gold Challenge Grade 1 to Successful Bidder.
Kildonan was sent to Dubai and went into training, but was unable to race due to injury and was subsequently sent back to South Africa, where he stood at Mary Slack's Wilgerbosdrift Stud before arriving at Yellow Star.
  
Congratulations to Yellow Star Stud on an exciting stallion acquisiton indeed!
Kildonan joins Spectrum(IRE) and Tropical Empire(AUS) at Yellow Star Stud.
