Another Group One performance for Circus Couture

Jakkalberry’s close relation Circus Couture put in another outstanding effort for a close up second in the €242,000 Premio Roma GBI Racing at Rome Italy on Sunday 8 November.

The Group One event was taken out by Dylan Mouth who now moves to ten wins from his thirteen starts including three at Group One level with Circus Couture half a head away in second and then a margin of five lengths away to visiting French trained Beautiful Heroine in third and German trained Guiliani in forth.

The 2000m event was taken out in the smart time of 1.59.7 on a track rated good.

Three year old Circus Couture is out of Jakkalberry’s half-sister Bois Joli who has already produced another Group One performer in Celticus, a winner of seven races including Listed level.

Says of Sweynesse :

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

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."

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."
