First King Of Comedy foal is full of quality

Novara Park's anticipation and excitement of the first King Of Comedy foal born has certainly been rewarded with the birth of a quality individual. The colt out of the mare Bay Meadows was bred by Llanhennock Trust.

Novara Park owner Luigi Muollo was certainly proud of the start King Of Comedy has made. "Balance, strength, correct and athletic. All the qualities you want and need. It's a great start. King Of Comedy is by the best young sire in Europe. Kingman is flying. It is a bloodline that has worked so well in New Zealand and Australia and will continue to do so".

James Mcdonald - Jockey

Says of Sweynesse :

"He was awesome. We got back in a slowly run race so his (sectional) splits
would have been amazing."

Henry Plumptre - Managing Director of Darley Australia.

Says of Sweynesse :

"These three colts are the best colts this year and there is probably a half-length
between them. It is fantastic."

Hideaki Fujiwara - Champion Trainer Japan

Says of Staphanos :

“Staphanos had outstanding ability showing speed and stamina. He was mentally and physically tough. I expect his progeny to be the same!”

Michael Cox - Former South China Morning Post and now The Age racing writer saw Staphanos in the flesh on the track and in his impressive morning workouts

Says of Staphanos :

"Staphanos is a horse of substance, mixing toughness and a no-nonsense temperament in a career in which he raced and beat some of the best Japan had to offer. What a coup by Luigi Muollo and Novara Park to secure this stallion and what an incredible opportunity for New Zealand breeders to send mares to such a highly credentialed son of Deep Impact. He has the looks, pedigree and racetrack performances to be a hit at stud. He could be a real game changer and just the type of stallion New Zealand needs."
