KZN Sires Continue To Produce Winners Overseas
| KZN Sires Continue To Produce Winners Overseas |
Sires standing in KZN continue to produce winners overseas as sires and broodmare sires, giving KZN a lot to be proud of.
Warwick Render is enthusiastic about the reports of King’s Chapel (by King Of Kings). “The day after King Montrose’s [Gr 3] win he had one runner and that was in Australia, a horse called Chouxshine who also won.
To add to his two winners yesterday he had a first and second in the same race in Singapore so in one day he had a winner in Singapore, a winner in Hong Kong and a winner in New Zealand, just to keep it fairly complete he had a first timer in Australia this morning who finished second.
In summary for the last two weeks he has had a total of 24 runs for a Stakes winner in New Zealand and four other winners in three different countries. A further seven of his runners were placed either second or third.”
King’s Chapel(AUS) standing at Bush Hill Stud has been producing winners and places on a weekly basis in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and New Zealand. The sire of 120 progeny to race, 51 winners with earnings of over $1.6 million. He has produced three Stakes Winners and two Stakes Placed horses.
Admire Main(JPN) of Summerhill Stud produced yet another winner yesterday with Wind Elgar over 1400m. This takes his total tally to five winners (six wins between them) from 14 runners, with all his other runners placing, some more than once – quite an incredible percentage of 35% runners to winners, and this is just the start for this young sire with his youngsters in their first two year old season in Japan. Wind Elgar is out of a Green Desert/Alleged mare.
King Of Kings(IRE) of Clifton Stud is the broodmare sire of Channel Lady, who took home the Stardusk Stakes Listed at Aqueduct in the USA at the end of November for three year old fillies over 1700m on turf, by three quarters of a length. The filly is out of Queen Supreme by English Channel, and trained by Todd Pletcher. She is also the winner of the Listed Pebble Stakes.
Spectrum(IRE) of Yellow Star Stud continues his domination as a leading broodmare sire overseas, having a Listed winner and a Stakes Placed horse in both the USA and the UK, both on the same day. Brother Francis(USA) placed in Damascus Stakes Listed at Santa Anita Park, a mere length off the winner.
He is by Lion Heart, running on a fast dirt track over 1400m. He has placed previously in the Hollywood Prevue Stakes (Gr 3) as well as the Delmar Derby (Gr 2) and Hollywood Futurity (Gr 1). Pure Excellence (by Exceed and Excel) out of Albavilla won the Montrose Fillies Stakes over 1600m at Newmarket, for two year old fillies in soft turf, by 1.5 lengths.
Look out for much more to come from these sires!
