Jakkalberry the athlete

Novara Park stallion Jakkalberry gave breeders a great deal to think about at the Waikato stallion parade on Sunday 30 August.

A large crowd of people turned out to see the three times Champion and Group One winning racehorse Jakkalberry with the sun coming out in the afternoon after some light rain in the morning.

Leading New Zealand equine photographer Trish Dunell was on hand to take some great shots of Jakkalberry that showcases the balanced and athletic individual that he is along with his beautiful head and kind eye.

With his first foals inheriting his quality and athleticism, it offer early evidence that Jakkalberry is going to be a great opportunity to breeders especially as he has one of the most predominant pedigrees in the world.

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."

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."

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!”
