Deep Field x Villa San Michele
OUR NXT LEVEL TEAM COMMENTS
This strong colt by champion sire DEEP FIELD who continues to produce stakes winners immediately caught our eye as soon as we inspected him. He is an incredibly imposing horse that demands attention. His walk is very nice and relaxed and he is also very well balanced. His length of neck and good hind will help him stretch out and assist that massive stride. He also has a nice wide jaw which should allow easy airflow when galloping. Not only does he have an incredibly strong pedigree, he has the looks to match!
He was purchased at incredible value so register your interest early to secure a share in this cracking colt.
VIEW PEDIGREE WRITE-UP Deep Field x Villa San Michele colt
The regally bred Deep Field (a $440,000 Easter graduate) created a great impression during his short but sharp racing career - winning five of his eight starts including the historic Gr.2 Linlithgow Stakes down the famous Flemington straight and the Listed Lightning Handicap at Randwick.
And he has gone right on with the job at stud, enjoying such immediate success that his initial service fee of $22,000 has risen to $88,000 - 12 of his sons and daughters including the Gr.1 Oakleigh Plate hero Portland Sky being stakes winners.
Last season's leading third season sire (ahead of Toronado), Deep Field boasts an outstanding winners-to-runners strike rate just short of 66% and his runners are of quality - just under 40% of his winners being AT LEAST city class... metropolitan winners, stakes placed or stakes winners.
This handsome colt, who has been well and truly stamped by his sire, is the first foal for the well credentialled Villa San Michele - an unraced mare bred by Winx's breeders Fairway Thoroughbreds. Changing hands as a broodmare prospect for $260,000 (purchased by Yulong), she is a daughter of the multiple Gr.1 winning high class shuttler Medaglia d'Oro (already broodmare sire of 50 stakes winners) and the talented Florentina who won two of her eight starts including the Gr.3 Gold Coast Guineas.
Unplaced only twice, Florentina was also placed at Group level on three occasions and she is doing a great job at stud - her first four foals all being winners with two of her progeny; Villa Carlotta and Fasano, earning black-type. And she continues to visit high class stallions... such as the Everest winner Yes Yes Yes and the UK star Kingman.
Florentina is one of the six winners produced by the talented Celebria, a three times winner from just five starts who was able to produce another two stakes winners - the Gr.1 Railway Stakes hero Gathering and the Listed winner California Turbo. Celebria is a half-sister by the European Horse Of The Year Peintre Celebre to the Gr.3 galloper Murjana and to the dams of the Group winners Niagara and Madam Legend.
Celebria's foal is the city winning Danehill mare Twyla whose dam is the wonderful broodmare Dancing Show - daughter of the legendary Nijinsky II and also dam of the Gr.1 winning successful stallions Umatilla (Karrakatta Plate) and Hurricane Sky (Blue Diamond Stakes, All-Aged Stakes).
Dancing Show is also the grandam of the three times Australian Champion Sire Redoute's Choice and ancestress of a host of stakes winners including the Gr.1 winners Al Maher, Platinum Scissors, Manhattan Rain and Shoals - as well as the Group winners Salameh, Hilal, Sliding Cube, Rubick, Precious Lorraine, Summer Monsoon, Summer Sham and Heavenly Curlin.
This is one the world's most prolific black-type families, Dancing Show being a granddaughter of the influential matriarch Best In Show - ancestress of such great horses as Try My Best, El Gran Senor, Chief Contender, Denon, Xaar, Chimes Of Freedom, Spinning World, He's No Pie Eater, Great Regent, Senure, Blush With Pride, Jazil, Rags To Riches, Thewayyouare, Peeping Fawn and Yagli... all Gr.1 winners.
This colt's grandam is closely line-bred to the family being by Redoute's Choice, providing him with genetic strength which is enhanced by his multiple strains of the wonderful Rough Shod II family from which his grandsire Northern Meteor hails - as does Northern Meteor's grandsire Fairy King, Medaglia d'Oro's grandsire Sadler's Wells and Peintre Celebre's sire Nureyev.
