In the Premio Ribot (Group 3) over 1600m at Rome Campanelle on Sunday 25 October it was a great result for Jakkalberry as both first and second placed horses are close relatives to Jakkalberry.

His sire the successful stallion Footstepsinthesand shares the same fourth dam as Jakkalberry being Crenelle (by Crepello) with this broodmare being full sister to successful New Zealand sire Crest Of The Wave.

Kaspersky’s dam Croanda shares the same second dam as Jakkalberry being multiple stakes winner and Oaks D’Italia placgetter Crodas (by Shirley Heights). Kaspersky record now stands at eight wins from his twelve starts.

Second placed was Circus Couture who continues his outstanding three year old season is out of Jakkalberry’s half-sister Bois Joli.

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."

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."
