The 30-year-old entrepreneur prefers not to be the face of his burgeoning thoroughbred empire, instead leaving those hands-on in the business to do the talking. BEST OF That includes Mick Sharkie, a racing media pundit turned bloodstock consultant who in June was lured to Leneva Park after a stint with syndicator Brad Spicer. Sharkie, the bloodstock adviser for the expanding Longwood-based LUCK operation, this week revealed that Vandersluys had harboured plans to To the Magic Millions graduates running diversify into broodmares and stallions while continuing the successful in this weekend’s feature races pre-training and spelling business.

Aquis Farm will also retain its shareholding in both stallions. “We could have gone and got another property to expand the breeding, particularly the broodmares, but having those two stallions there as going concerns, if you like, with good numbers behind them and Lean Mean Machine’s foals look particularly nice, I think that was the sealer for Luke and his family,” Sharkie said. “He thought, we’re already halfway there with those two stallions and if we can add to it along the journey and recruit some more, it’s not like you’re starting from scratch.

  • Download Pedigree Notes
    Magna Grecia Magna Grecia, a Group 1 winner at two and three years, is by top class sire of sires, Invincible Spirit. Magna Grecia carries Sadler’s Wells and Lt Stevens via his dam, both members of the GOODY TWO SHOES family. Mares carrying individuals such as FAIRY KING (sire of ENCOSTA DE LAGO, FALBRAV, ADVENTUROUS, REVOQUE, HELISSIO, SHINKO KING and VICTORY NOTE), NUREYEV, NORTHERN METEOR and sons, LORENZACCIO, THATCH (and son THATCHING), TATE GALLERY, GEIGER COUNTER, YEATS, TOPSIDER, REFORM and OPEN DAY add to this strength. Sadler’s Wells’ son Galileo, damsire of Magna Grecia, is a half-brother to SEA THE STARS and closely related to KING’S BEST, whose daughters would appeal for Magna Grecia. Magna Grecia is a direct descendant of SELENE, who is also represented by Hyperion (8 lines) and Pharamond (3 lines) throughout his pedigree. Mares carrying fellow family members SIR TRISTRAM, MOSSBOROUGH, STAR WAY and OUR MAIZCAY will add to this well known family. SIR TRISTRAM is most easily sourced via his descendants LONHRO, ZABEEL, SAVABEEL, MARAUDING, OCTAGONAL, PIERRO, GROSVENOR, K AAPSTAD, TIERCE, MILITARY PLUME and IMPERIAL PRINCE. ZABEEL also carries Nureyev, so has additional attraction (see above paragraph). This also applies to Star Way, who is damsire of ENCOSTA DE LAGO, a son of Fairy King (see above). FRIZETTE family members Lomond, Mr Prospector and Djeddah (twice) can be reinforced by the inclusion of horses such as SEATTLE SLEW (a half-brother to Lomond), ARTIE SCHILLER, SING SING, BALDRIC II, ROAN ROCKET, TWENTY FOUR KARAT, GREGORIAN, FERDINAND, JET PILOT, MUKADDAMAH, and OMAN.
