DECLARATIONOFPEACE’S STAR SHINES BRIGHTLY

Yesterday a small but significant piece of equine history was made at Hollywoodbets Scottsville, as the Blue Sky Thoroughbreds bred colt Treaty Of Paris got his sire, Declarationofpeace off to a winning start from only his second runner at the races. Out of Our Destiny (Var), herself a useful runner at the track, with a second in the Listed Lady’s Pendant (2017) and placed in the Listed Kwa-Zulu Natal Stakes (2018), Our Destiny is also the dam of half-sister, the promising Blue Sky Thoroughbreds bred Lancaster Bomber filly, Disting.

Treaty Of Paris’ sire, the American bred and Rathmor/Macrath based, Declarationofpeace, was voted ‘TDN Rising Star’ hails from the well-known and highly successful Danzig sireline. A Stakes-winning son of War Front, and a Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint hero, Declarationofpeace was a $2,6 million foal and raced successfully for the famed Ballydoyle operation. His most high-profile victory being the Listed Qatar Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf, and was also placed in the Gr2 Sapphire Stakes and the Gr3 Mercury Stakes in Ireland. Declarationofpeace is out of the Stakes-winning daughter of Storm Cat, Serena’s Cat and shares his dam with the champion American racehorse and successful sire Honor Code, and the late KZN stallion Noble Tune.

Thankfully there is a healthy representation of the War Front genes here in South Africa through the late Drakenstein stallion Lancaster Bomber, Wilgerbosdrift-based Fire Away, and of course the KZN Rathmor Stud Declarationofpeace. The Danzig speed influence combined with the brilliance and versatility of Storm Cat, makes Declarationofpeace an irresistible and winning prospect for KZN and South African breeding and racing.
