Rathmor’s Gran Blanco A Yearling

As of the 1 August, Rathmor Stud’s white colt born in September last year, Gran Blanco, is officially a yearling.

He remains a big colt, very typical of the progeny of Kahal in the shape of his head and the substantial size of his bone structure and conformation.

His dam Perakeen is heavily in foal to Miesque’s Approval, once she foals down she will return to Kahal once again; Mike McHardy of Rathmor Stud is doubtful he will ever see a foal of this colouring produced again. Perakeen has an unraced three year old named Sanction by Miesque’s Approval.

Perakeen descends from the family of Vodacom Durban July winner and sire Grey’s Inn. She is a five-time winner including placing in the Yellowwood Handicap Gr 3.

G1 Goldmine pedigree software reveals interesting comparisons in the pedigree of Gran Blanco to the likes of Coup de Genie, sire Machiavellian (grandsire of Gran Blanco through Kahal) and sires Rhythm and Fusaichi Pegasus.
