St Helier’s Ella’s World A Bright Prospect
Ella’s World, pictured going to the start at Scottsville yesterday looks a bright prospect for owner Brian Burnard and trainer Dennis Bosch.
The Ideal World filly bred by Syd and Shirley Rosseau of Hillcrest based St Helier Stud have reduced their broodmare band to a small but exclusive band, with well bred Black Type mares that are spread across three farms nationally – their own, Clifton Stud and Boland in the Cape.
Currently St Helier Stud boast very impressive stats on www.nhra.co.za – with 44% winners to runners, in January alone there were only five runners nationally, for two winners and two places – including the beautifully named Lloyd George, who has now won twice and placed second from just three starts. He is out of a Cape Cross mare, Velvet Mover.
Ella’s World, a half-sister to Black Type racemare Preamble who was a five-time winner, is out of the Elliodor mare Speedy Eli, who has produced five winners at stud. This is the family of Foxi Flo, Bluff and William Henry.
Ella’s World sold for just R60 000 at the 2017 KZN Yearling Sale and has earned over R105 000 in stakes. She has won twice and placed from only three races.
Overall, St Helier have produced 18 runners for the 2018 / 2019 season, and produced 10 wins with 25 places and an average earning per runner of over R42 000.
Their other consistent horses include Varimax trained by Mike Ozzie (out of a half-sister to River Jetez and Pocket Power, a three parts brother to Mike Azzie’s Rivarine), Winter Storm in training with Ashley Fortune, and Ryker with Garth Puller.
