And if it was out of alignment, why didn't someone realign it once that became apparent? -

The first progeny of Windsor Park Stud stallion Profondo made a favourable impression during the NZB National Weanling Sale at Karaka on Thursday. The son of Japanese super-sire Deep Impact was himself a A$1.9 million yearling and won the Gr.1 Spring Champion Stakes (2000m) in Sydney as a three-year-old. He commenced his stud career at Windsor Park in 2023 and has served books of 177 and 173 mares in his first two seasons. Thursday’s catalogue featured four weanlings from Profondo’s first crop. They all sold for a total of $250,000, averaging $62,500. They were bred from a $17,500 service fee. Windsor Park Stud sold a Profondo colt out of Shamani for $85,000, while Seaton Park’s colt out of the Lord Kanaloa mare Auntie Condor fetched the same price. Mana Park’s filly out of the Align mare Dwandaofu sold for $70,000. “We’re really happy with how the first Profondo weanlings have gone today,” Windsor Park Stud’s nominations manager Nick Hewson said. “He’s off to a great start. “The colt that we offered ourselves, who was out of a Shamexpress mare, was an outstanding type and attracted plenty of interest leading into the sale. “The exciting thing is that his progeny are only going to get better and better with age, so we’ve got a lot more to look forward to. We’ve been around the grounds and had a good look at all of his progeny that were in this sale, and they’re all great-looking individuals with so much scope. Profondo is a great physical specimen himself and is passing those attributes on to his progeny.” Those sentiments are shared by Paul Pertab, who bought Windsor Park’s colt out of Shamani. “I really liked Profondo’s credentials from the moment he came into the country,” Pertab said. “I went and had a look at him at the stud when he first arrived, and I was very impressed. I thought this colt, albeit at the higher end of the scale for this sale today, was pretty good value at $85,000.” Cambridge Stud’s Sword Of State played a starring role with his first yearlings at Karaka earlier in the year, and he carried on in a similar vein with strong demand for his second-season weanlings on Thursday. Nine of his progeny were sold for a total of $438,500, averaging $48,722 on a $15,000 service fee. View the full article -

Group 3 German Derby Trial winner Juwelier has been added as a wildcard for the Arqana Summer Sale. A graduate from last year's breeze-up sale at Arqana, the Alessandro and Giuseppe Botti-trained colt has confirmed himself a classy performer this season. The Wootton Bassett colt is out of Gravitee, a daughter of Galileo and full-sister to Intello. Juwelier will be sold in absence and will not go through the ring in Deauville. Inspections are available by contacting Alessandro and Giuseppe Botti or with the help of a member of the Arqana Bloodstock Team.

Leading owner-breeder Jean-Pierre Dubois will offer more than 100 horses through the ring at the Auctav on Wednesday, August 13. This sale will include foals, broodmares, yearlings and horses-in-training over both codes. “This is a landmark event,” Arnaud Angéliaume, director of Auctav said. “We are honoured to host Jean-Pierre Dubois' private sale. His life is an extraordinary human and professional journey. He has shaped racing genetics in France and worldwide, across both thoroughbred and trotter breeding. His influence is truly unique.” Dubois is without doubt one of the most influential figures in the history of racehorse breeding in France. Originally renowned for his work with trotters, he successfully applied his long-term vision and bold genetic instincts to the Thoroughbred, excelling in both Flat and National Hunt racing across continents. He belongs to the very exclusive club of owner-breeders with Group 1 victories in all racing codes. Among his most famous breeding achievements is Stacelita, by Monsun out of Soignée (Dashing Blade), a six-time Group 1 winner in France and the USA. More recently, Sparkling Plenty, by Kingman out of Speralita (Frankel), confirmed the strength of the Dubois breeding programme by winning the 2024 Prix de Diane, adding another chapter to a legacy built on carefully structured families. Familiar horses that have been associated with Dubois include Noble Truth, Blue Wings, Qualisaga, Red Line, Zonza, Garnica, Othermix, Just Little, Fabulously, Mysterious Lina, Numereius, Super Celebre, and many more.
