Jakkalberry 2yo’s take the next step

Novara Park were delighted at the performance of the first crop of Jakkalberry at the New Zealand Bloodstock Ready To Run Sale.

All five Jakkalberry 2yo’s showed they present outstanding opportunities for the future.

On day one it was the Jakkalberry- Free Sea colt who impressed in running one of the fastest times of the day.

On day two which had slightly better track conditions it was the Jakkalberry - Goody Two Shoes filly who showed outstanding speed to not only run one of the fastest times of the day but was in fact the fastest filly in the whole catalogue.

Novara Park proprietor Luigi Muollo was equally pleased with the Breeze Up’s.

“The feedback we are getting from breakers and trainers has been outstanding. It is very encouraging that the Jakkalberry progeny keep on taking that next step. “

“Full credit goes to the vendors and jockeys for presenting and breezing up the first crop of Jakkalberry to such a high standard.”

Kerrin Mcevoy - Jockey

Says of Sweynesse :

"He’s been pleasing us at home but we were worried about the ground and also he was meeting a good field first-up, I had to ride him a bit steady from the gate but he was electric when I asked him to go."
"He’s a nice, big colt with a lovely relaxed attitude and a very good turn of foot."

Hugh Bowman - Jockey

Says of Sweynesse :

"I was really pleased with First Seal but full credit to Sweynesse, I thought I had the race in my keeping. My filly wasn’t dying on her run but the colt picked me up and put me away."

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."
