STUDY OF MAN with Kirsten Rausing

Following Lanwades’ Annus Mirabilis in 2022, a period of strong and positive consolidation followed in 2023.

Lanwades-bred runners again won a Group 1 (ELDAR ELDAROV), two Group 2’s (SANDRINE and ZAAKI) and, importantly, ALPINISTA’s half-sister ALPENBLUME became a Stakes Winner. As in previous years, Lanwades supplied winners on three continents: Europe, the USA and Australia.

STUDY OF MAN’s first crop, three-year-olds of 2024, looks very promising. His colt DEEPONE won the Gr.2 Beresford Stakes at The Curragh in 2023, and Lanwades-bred ALACRITY, LINGUA FRANCA, JUBILEE WALK, FRANCOPHONE and SONS AND LOVERS all impressed as 2 year olds in 2023, the latter two winning on their respective debuts.

SEA THE MOON strengthened his position as one of Europe’s leading established sires and was Champion Sire (by far) in Germany, siring the outstanding German Derby and Prix Niel winner FANTASTIC MOON, as well as the first, second and third in the German Oaks (Preis Diana), MUSKOKA, KASSADA and SEA THE LADY.

BOBBY’S KITTEN maintained his exceptionally high winners-torunners percentages and sired two leading 2yo’s: in Saudi Arabia, English bred ALMOTAHED and in Hungary, Irish bred DARK BLUE SKY. In Britain, his daughter SANDRINE continued to do him proud, maintaining her position as one of the leading fillies of her age when winning the Gr.2 Park Stakes at Doncaster – again beating colts - to add to her previous tally of four wins, including two further Group 2’s and a Group 3.

Derby winner SIR PERCY was retired from active stud duties, but leaves a legacy of sound, honest and genuine horses – some of whom have yet to appear in a sales ring, or indeed, race.

In most (but not all) parts of the world, the yearling markets suffered a chilling “correction” from the excesses of 2022. Such marked fluctuations in average and median yearling prices make a sharp reminder for breeders to concentrate on quality and value which, we are convinced, is provided by the Lanwades stallions. They also offer breeders a very good chance of producing a superior racehorse.

We sincerely thank our clients, breeders and purchasers of our yearlings and warmly invite you to inspect our stallions (by prior telephone appointment, please).

Chairman, International Thoroughbred Breeders’ Federation

>> Watch race wins

The ultimate Lanwades’ product, of four homebred generations.

ALPINISTA, victorious in the world’s greatest race, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, was crowned World Champion of 2022.

A consummate professional, this granddaughter of Champion triple Gr.1 winner ALBANOVA, won a total of 10 races including, phenomenally, 6 consecutive Gr.1’s and was unbeaten in her last 8 races.

ALPINISTA’s toughness and heart are as brilliant as her ability. This was demonstrated perfectly in her Arcwinning performance on the heaviest of going, despite her natural propensity for firm ground. Throughout her journey, she has touched the hearts of so many.

A tribute to SIR PERCY

I

n 2006, the Derby was won by a colt picked up by his trainer Marcus Tregoning as a yearling for just 16,000gns, making him one of only 13 winners of the Derby in the last 50 years to have been sold at public auction, and certainly the least expensive.

Sir Percy’s blue riband may have been claimed by just a short-head, with another head and short-head splitting the first four home, but it was no fluke. The best of his generation in Britain as a two-yearold, when he sailed unbeaten through four races, including the G2 Vintage and G1 Dewhurst S., he had found only George Washington too good for him when second in the 2,000 Guineas.

After Royal Ascot, Sir Percy retired to take up stud duties for the 2008 season at Lanwades, “He was already attractive as a great two-year-old and a Derby winner, but what made him particularly attractive as far as I was concerned was the fact that he would suit a whole lot of Northern Dancer-line mares,” Rausing notes. “We needed an outcross ….. he fulfilled many of the criteria, and then there was the fact that he was such a bonny horse himself.”

Both Lanwades and Sir Percy’s owners, the Pakenhams, have been responsible for a number of his better horses, with Rausing having bred the G2 Park Hill S. winner Alyssa

18 www.lanwades.com

“We already know that he’s a good broodmare sire, and the fact that he was easy to breed mares to also holds true for his daughters, who are quite easy to mate. Alla Speranza has already bred a group winner, Shine So Bright, who is now at stud in India.

Alyssa has bred two winners from two runners, so it’s so far so good.

“All in all, he’s been a success story, if not with great fireworks. But he has been a steady success and always very popular with trainers and popular at the sales.”

(GB) and G3 Kilternan S. winner Alla Speranza (GB), as well as Listed winner Kawida (GB). The Pakenhams meanwhile bred the G2 Lancashire Oaks victrix Lady Tiana (GB) and Listed winner Blakeney Point (GB).

Sir Percy is also the sire of G1 Metropolitan winner Sir John Hawkwood (Ire) in Australia, while in America he had the GI Man o’ War S. winner Wake Forest (Ger).

His influence has also spread to the National Hunt division, where his sons Presenting Percy (GB) and Knight Salute (GB) in particular have represented him at the highest level at Cheltenham and Aintree.

Rausing adds, “He started with a bang and had a good number of twoyear-old winners in his first crop. I think he surprised quite a few people, and we were inundated with people wanting to send mares after his first two-year-old runners.

For the Pakenhams, Sir Percy remains “a member of the family; he’s very, very special”. On this, Rausing concurs. “He has always been so easy to deal with and he will remain here in retirement,” she says. “His fertility has waned but in himself he is in great heart and looks as good as ever.”

We will leave the last word to the late Harry Ormesher, who said that watching Sir Percy win the Derby was, “the best day of my life, without doubt”.

The culmination of a life’s dream for his breeder, an unending delight for his owners, and a friend to many other breeders besides, Sir Percy is fully deserving of a peaceful retirement, and with the offspring of his final crops still to come, we may not have heard the last of him yet.
