Description

Lot 55 brown filly Wootton Bassett – Lady Iveagh (More Than Ready) - draft: Landsdowne Park

Coolmore shuttle stallion Wootton Bassett, the Champion 2YO Colt in France, is already a sire of sires with the Champion 3YO Colt in Europe, Ireland, and France, Almanzor standing at Cambridge Stud, where he has been Leading First Season Sire.

Dam Lady Iveagh was a winner over 1000 metres in Australia, and already the dam of two winners.

Incredibly, world renowned dam-sire More Than Ready (Southern Halo) is the best sire of winners globally, with nearly 2300 individual winners, including over 135 stakes winners as a broodmare sire.

Passing in 2022, aged 25, More Than Ready had been Champion Sire in both hemispheres, proving an outstanding sire of sires, and going from strength-to-strength as a broodmare sire.

Grand-dam Milliyet is by Champion Sire Zabeel (Sir Tristram), who still holds the NZ record for stakes winners produced.

Milliyet is the dam of Samantha Miss (Redoute’s Choice), Champion 3YO Filly in Australia, triple Group One winner in the Champagne Stakes (Gr. 1, 1600m), Flight Stakes (Gr. 1, 1600m), and VRC Oaks (Gr. 1, 2500m).

“She’s a beautiful example of both the sire and dam, and from a pedigree like she’s got it’s easy to see the quality,” Ellis said.

“She has a European look about her physique, with the class to show some natural precocity and the depth in her bloodlines to get over longer trips.

“She really is a beautiful specimen, by a sire (Wootton Bassett) that is one of the best in Europe, and we’re about to start seeing his first crop Southern Hemisphere two-year-olds in action this season.

“If the performances by the progenies of his sire son Almanzor are anything to go by, then we’re going to see some top-drawer racehorses by Wootton Bassett too.

“There is plenty of staying blood in her pedigree and we see her as an Oaks type of filly. She will just keep improving with maturity and age.”

A blue-blood pedigree, the filly carries a bloodline cross to three of the best sires of all-time: Mr. Prospector, Nureyev, and Northern Dancer.
