  • Mating Plans: Ecurie Des Monceaux Cont
    WEDNESDAY, 9 JANUARY 2019 Platonic's three daughters at the farm are Pacifique (Ire) MATING PLANS: ECURIE (Montjeu {Ire}), Prudente (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) and Prudenzia (Ire) (Dansili {GB}), the latter being the dam of Classic heroine DES MONCEAUX Chicquita (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) and also G2 Ribblesdale S. winner Magic Wand. Prudenzia will return to Galileo (Ire) after she delivers a foal by the champion sire, while Pacifique, currently in foal to Siyouni, will visit Kodiac (GB). Bozo says, "Prudente is a full-sister to Prudenzia. Her first foal is a smart colt by Galileo. She is in foal to Siyouni and is going to Lope De Vega (Ire), who is a stallion we're keen to support. His stats are very good and I think he gives a young mare a really good chance. Another mare we are sending him is Falling Leaves (Ire), a young mare by Galileo who is currently in foal to Fastnet Rock (Aus). My Rosie (Ire) we bought from Watership Down Stud in December 2017 and she has a nice Frankel (GB) colt, is in foal to Siyouni and will also go to Lope De Vega. Our policy is to go to proven stallions as much as we can."

Eight months previously the stud's owner Ronnie Boland and his son Aaron had bought a Footstepsinthesand (GB) half-sister to Even So as a foal at Goffs November for i22,000 and the now yearling filly will return to the sales ring with a massive update when she takes up her slot as lot 57 at the Goffs Orby Sale at Doncaster on Sept. 30. Being a half-sister to a Classic winner is no mean feat in itself; however, the pedigree is far from one dimensional, as the filly's dam Breeze Hill (Ire) (Danehill) is a half-sister to a brilliant Derby winner in Dr Devious (Ire) who also landed the G1 Irish Champion S. and the G1 Dewhurst S., as well as a champion sprinter in Archway (Ire).
