   In this series, the TDN takes a look at notable successes of European-based sires in North America. This week's column is highlighted by the victory of Imaboutago in Florida.

 

Debut Winner For Calyx In Florida

Wesley Ward sent out Imaboutago (Ire) (Calyx {GB}) to a debut victory at Gulfstream Park for e Five Racing Thoroughbred on Friday (video).

Bred by Ennistown Stud, the juvenile filly is out of Newtown Pippin (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and brought €12,000 as a Goffs November weanling from Rockview Stables, before making 105,000gns as a Tattersalls October Book 3 yearling on the bid of BBA Ireland. She was the joint-fifth highest price during that book at Park Paddocks. The half-sister to the stakes-placed Felix Natalis (Ire) (Harry Angel {Ire}) has a weanling half-brother by Cotai Glory (GB). His granddam, Vista Bella (GB) (Diktat {GB}), won the Listed Masaka S., and ran third in the G1 1000 Guineas.

All four of the Coolmore Stud resident's American runners–all fillies–have won. Calyx's best in that locale are the GIII Jimmy Durante S. heroine Zona Verde (Ire), and the dual listed-placed Angiolleta (Ire), who are both incidentally out of Dark Angel (Ire) mares. His quartet of winning U.S. fillies is completed by Ever So Sweet (Ire).
