(Northern Dancer - Ciboulette (Chop Chop))
|
| PICTURE |
- 1980 foal. Won only one, minor, race at 6f as a 3yo from seven career starts.
- Well bred and now one of the last sons of the hugely influential Northern Dancer still active at stud. A very good record produceding the winners of more than 2,000 races with nine who have been successful at Group/Grade 1 including In The Groove(8f 3yo), Daryaba (10.5 3yo), Azamour (12f 3yo), & Lochangel (6f older).
- A good record with his British raced 2yos and his relatively large recent crops a testament to his continued popularity despite his age. Although he gets older winners up to 12f (at Group 1) he is mainly an influence for speed getting winners at 5f to 7f from the start of the season and a better record at 5f to 6f. Recent higher class winners have been Barons Pit (5f Group 3) & Never A Doubt (5.5f Group 2) in 2002, Nyramba (Listed 6f) in 2003, although the 2004-5 groups have lacked a high level winner with Advanced's 6f Conditions (Class 2) win the best result.
- 29 yearlings sold in 2005 for an average around 17,000gns. Another solid season in 2006 with 9 winners from 17 runners and a strike rate close to 13% including Group 3 6f winner Scarlet Runner. 24 yearlings sold for an average over 31,000 guineas.
