Teofilo’s lightly-raced three-year-old colt General Sherman took the step up to Stakes company in his stride on Sunday April 5 when winning the Listed Premio Gardone by four lengths. Making his debut in November last year when second in Rome, he has subsequently won his next three starts and a tilt at the Italian 2,000 Guineas could now be a possibility.
Bred by Allevamento la Nuova Sbarra, General Sherman is a son of the Stakes-winning mare Cromac and a half-brother to five winners including the G3-winner Kykuit (dam of Shamardal’s Italian 2,000 Guineas-placed colt Ludovico Il Moro) and Manduro’s four-time winner Perfect World. Cromac is herself a half-sister to the grandam of Shamardal’s Italian Derby winner Crackerjack King and the globetrotting Jakkalberry.
