Now its 10 First Crop Winners and Another Stakes Performer for Arrowfield’s SHALAA

14 Sep 20

Seven days ago, we reported that exciting first crop sire SHALAA (by Invincible Spirit) had sired 4 winners in 8 days, taking his overall tally to nine (9) 2yo winners in his first crop in Europe.

Over the weekend, Arrowfield Stud’s exciting first crop shuttle sire added to his growing reputation and instant success as a stallion with a new winner in England and a Listed Race runner-up in Ireland.

Shalaa’s daughter named - No Speak Alexander – has continued to build on her maiden win in July and her Group 2 fourth placing in August with a solid effort to finish runner-up by 3/4 length in Saturday’s Ingabelle S. LR a 7-furlong (1400m) event at Leopardstown.

No Speak Alexander became Shalaa’s second stakes performer joining Saeiqa who has run 3rd in the Gr2 Royal Ascot Coventry S.

Whilst Shalaalaa has run 4th at Cork in the Marble Hill S., Gr.3 and Cherie Amour has run 4th at Deauville in the Prix Six Perfections, Gr.3

Then on Sunday, Shalaa added his 10th first-crop 2yo winner to his tally when Shalaa Asker (ex Miracle Seeker by Rainbow Quest) scored by almost two lengths over 5 furlongs (1000m) at Chelmsford in England.

This continues the fantastic start for the exciting first crop sire.

As he begins serving his fourth book of Australian mares, Shuttle Sire SHALAA (IRE) with his first crop European 2yo runners is showing why he has been so popular in both hemispheres.

SHALAA (IRE) - off to a flying start as a 2yo Sire in Europe

Shalaa is the only Shuttle Stallion on the roster at Arrowfield Stud in 2020 where he is standing the 2020 season at a Service Fee of $33,000.

The 2015 Champion 2yo of England and France, was rated by world class jockey Frankie Dettori as "the fastest 2yo he has ever ridden."

Meanwhile, his first Australian 2yo’s are in the care of Australia’s leading stables and racing management such as leading syndicators Dynamic Syndications and leading stables like Waterhouse & Bott, Ciaron Maher and Chris Waller, and these industry leaders simply had to have a Shalaa in their care.

That’s one of the many reasons why he averaged over five (5) times his service fee across all yearling sales in 2020, whilst his major yearling sales average was over $230,000 and his yearlings sold up to $600,000.

Shalaa as a type, is packed with quality and athleticism which he has been able to pass into his foals from his first crops.

He was a natural, high-class 2yo, winning 5 of his six starts at 2, including two (2) Gr1 races.

What’s exciting is that Shalaa is the best 2yo son of his champion sire Invincible Spirit, whose sons I Am Invincible, Kingman and Cable Bay are proving so successful in Australia and Europe.

Another exciting aspect is that Shalaa’s sireline works brilliantly with the Danehill line, which we have so much of here in Australia.

He has been well supported by breeders in Australia covering more than 450 mares in his first 3 seasons in Australia and he is assured to get good support again in 2020 whilst Arrowfield have committed 34 of their elite mares to the sire this Spring.

This takes Shalaa’s tally of European first-crop juvenile winners to 10 Winners:

The progeny of Shalaa are running and performing well and professionals here in Australia are eager to see what his first crop will do down here.

Dynamic Syndications currently have available limited shares in a stunning filly with a sensational pedigree.

Our Filly - Shalaa x Talented Miss

This is a filly that we highly recommend to our loyal owners.

Massive upside, minimal downside, this gilt-edged filly offers terrific racing opportunities.

Our filly has one of the most exciting commercial pedigrees in the Australian Stud Book has grown fatter with the recent addition of even more up close saturated Bold Black-Type (results in stakes races recorded by the Stud Book) in the past few days.

As a result, the commercial value of our own SHALAA (IRE) x TALENTED MISS now 2yo bay filly continues to grow whilst our filly remains grazing in the paddock.

The mare SEASONS (Sebring x Acouplamas) added further black type to her pedigree over the weekend.

Seasons ran 3rd in the Gr2 Sheraco Stakes at Rosehill.

This is now three (3) stakes performances in a row and the mare has been luckless in her past two starts.

First up this preparation Seasons added an extremely important and highly valuable Gr3 placing in the ATC Toy Show at Randwick.

Whilst this gifted racemare had already earned minor black type when she finished fourth in the Gr3 ATC Birthday Card at her most recent start in March prior to going for a short break, this Sheraco Stakes is the third addition to her name in Bold Black Type on the pedigree page.

Her form now reads in the pedigree page:

Seasons (f Sebring) 4 wins at 1200m, 1250m, A$271,430, to 2019-20,
     ATC All Too Hard at Vinery H., Australian Turf Club H., UNSW H.,
     Tab.com.au P., 2d ATC Catanach's H., Book Summer Hospitality H.,
     Theraces P., 3d ATC Sheraco S., Gr.2, Toy Show H., Gr.3, 4th
     ATC Birthday Card S., Gr.3.

SEASONS

SEASONS was a genuine case of a certainty beaten when she finished just 0.3 lengths from the winner Sweet Deal in the Toy Show despite being locked up with nowhere to go over the final 150m of her race.

Whilst history repeated on Saturday when she couldn't get out to finish just 1.1 lengths from the winner.

SEASONS certainly looks set for a promising Spring carnival ahead.

Our SHALAA (IRE) x TALENTED MISS filly is the “Dream Purchase” that professional buyers search for.

She has seen massive saturation of Black Type and as a result, our filly’s own commercial value has achieved a massive 100% increase since we swooped to secure her in January at the Magic Millions.

Simply if our filly was to be sold through an auction sale today rather than in January, the competition for her would increase and she would sell for twice as much as we paid for her.

Let’s review what’s happened:

SHALAA (IRE) First Crop Sire in Australia

It’s the female side of a pedigree which determines commercial value and our filly’s pedigree has exploded in black-type over the past few months.

Here is the updated extended Stud Book Pedigree Page where to follow the improvements in the family and identify what wasn't on the page at the yearling sales, we have highlighted these updates in yellow:

TALENTED MISS (by AL MAHER) the Dam of our filly, was a winner of 2 races. Our filly is her first foal.

TALENTED MISS is the Full-Sister to ACOUPLAMAS (the name is pronounced A-Couple-of-Mars).

ACOUPLAMAS

Dynamic Syndications purchased ACOUPLAMAS as a yearling and raced her with success.

She earned black type herself before being sold as a breeding prospect after she retired from racing.

QUICK THINKER

Since we purchased our filly in January, ACOUPLAMAS produced a So You Think colt named QUICK THINKER to win the Gr1 ATC Derby and Gr2 ATC Tulloch Stakes.

ACOUPLAMAS had already produced another Stakes-placed youngster named THE AUGUST.

THE AUGUST

Since we purchased our filly, THE AUGUST was exported to Singapore where he has subsequently won taking his tally to 3 wins.

Now ACOUPLAMAS has added further black type as a broodmare thanks to the abovementioned Stakes Placing with SEASONS to this strong female pedigree.

The commercial value of our filly has literally doubled with the addition of these major race success updates which has become a significant advantage for our loyal Dynamic Owners that will own and race this filly.

Dynamic Syndications would never increase the share price to reflect this increase in commercial value despite the 100% increase.

That’s a WIN for our owners to instantly enjoy and financially benefit from.

Importantly our filly’s residual value is now well assured because ANY commercial breeder who ultimately purchases her as a broodmare when her racing days with Dynamic Syndications conclude, should they choose to send her to SO YOU THINK, genetically they will create a 3/4 relation-in-blood to Gr1 ATC Derby winner QUICK THINKER and that magical pedigree as a commercial yearling, would be of Easter standard where Australia’s most expensive yearlings are offered for sale.

Our Filly - SHALAA (IRE) x TALENTED MISS

This has made our SHALAA (IRE) x TALENTED MISS 2yo Bay Filly a “gilt-edged” equine investment.

Our filly’s owners will have the security that she will be an in-demand mare even if she didn’t reach top standard on the racetrack.

This filly has the potential to be one of the closest opportunities to “Risk-Free” racing available.

The massive upside here is, should she achieve what we consider she is capable of achieving and should she live up to the big wraps already placed upon her by her educator and she does achieve black type herself, then on this highly desirable commercial pedigree page, she could well realise massive figures as a broodmare upon her retirement and that doesn’t account for the huge prizemoney that our owners would bank along the way.

Our Filly with Australian Olympian SHANE ROSE in the saddle

There are only a handful of genuine equine racing and breeding opportunities available each season with negligible downside and massive upside to them.

Our filly has ticked these boxes thanks to the deeds of her close relations whilst our lass is safely grazing in the paddock.

We love our industry!

Where else can you see your money double whilst your horse is eating grass?
