We bought this powerful and precocious looking son of the first season sire Persian Force for 55,000 guineas at the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sale which makes him eligible for the Tattersalls £200,000 Somerville Auction Stakes in August and the Tattersalls £200,000 October Auction Stakes in October, over 6 and 7 furlongs respectably.

Persian Force was a top class and very tough two-year-old who won the July Stakes before going on to be placed four times at Group 1 level that same juvenile season. His first crop of yearlings are an impressive bunch and as a son of the top-class sire Mehmas who is out of a mare by another outstanding sire in Lope De Vega, he has a great chance of making it as a stallion.

The dam, Imtiyaaz, won twice herself and was placed twice at Listed level. She was a sprinter herself and is by a top-class sprinter/sire Starspangledbanner out of a mare by another top class sprinter in Green Desert so speed is very much bred to be in the genes!  Imtiyaaz has already produced two two-year-old winners whilst current two year-old, Cosmic Clarets, looks a winner waiting to happen. Imtiyaaz is a half-sister to the Listed-winning 2yo Bunker as well as the Irish 2,000 Guineas third, Imperial Fighter. The family has a high ratio of winners to runners and runners to foals, the latter which is a good sign from a soundness perspective.

Luke Lillingston commented: ‘Imagine buying a yearling that makes his two-year-old debut a brilliant winning one in March,  and then takes you to Royal Ascot , the July meeting at Newmarket, a Group 1 in Ireland, a Group 1 at Deauville, the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket and then the Breeders Cup in November, while always being in the money. What a superbly tough sound genuine racehorse – that was Persian Force. 

Our colt is from the stallions first crop. He is a very good looking flashy boy who exhibited great energy, enthusiasm and athleticism at the Somerville Sale and came from Ireland’s perennially leading breeders numerically, Tally Ho Stud. He should be a lot of fun next year.’
