SHADWELL SALES GRADUATES MAKING AN IMPACT

It was in 2002 that Shadwell began consigning horses to major sales. Graduates of Shadwell's consignments have since been winning big and making a major impact both on the racetrack and in the sales arena. Following is a sampling of some of the graduates and their accomplishments in the ensuing four years.

GIRL WARRIOR (Elusive Quality - Qhazeenah (GB)) was sold by Shadwell in the 2002 Keeneland September yearling sale to Shawn Dugan, agent. Her four wins in six starts included the El Encino S.-G2 at Santa Anita for owner Anthony Speelman and the Miss America H. at Golden Gate. She was resold at the 2006 Keeneland January sale as a racing or broodmare prospect for $1 million.

The mare ATTASLIYAH (IRE) was sold by Shadwell at the 2002 Keeneland January sale to Des Ryan. She is now the dam of RABATASH, winner of the Go and Go Round Tower S.-G3 at the Curragh in Ireland on August 27.

EL NAFIS, a broodmare, was sold by Shadwell at the 2002 Keeneland November breeding stock sale to Thunder Ranch TB. She was in foal to Shadwell stallion SWAIN (IRE) at the time. The resulting foal was NASHEEJ, now a sophomore filly who has won the May Hill S.-G2, Dubai Duty Free S.-G3, and Sweet Solera S.-G3 to date. Her placings include the One Thousand Guineas-G1, Coronation S.-G1, and Meon Valley Stud Fillies' Mile-G1.

The mare SAMUT sold in foal to Shadwell sire INTIDAB at the 2003 Keeneland November breeding stock sale. Lavin Bloodstock bought her and the foal she was carrying is the now 2-year-old IUTURNA, a stakes winner in 2006 in Italy.

Another juvenile stakes winner in 2006 sold in utero by Shadwell is NATIVE RULER. Shadwell sold his dam, TAJANNUB, in foal to Elusive Quality at the 2004 Keeneland January sale to Lavin Bloodstock. NATIVE RULER broke his maiden on July 8 of this year and won the Chenery S. at Colonial Downs just three weeks later.

Broodmare SAJJAYA sold at the 2003 Keeneland January sale to Blandford Bloodstock in foal to Shadwell sire SAHM. The resulting foal was PSALMS OF PRAISE, now a 3-year-old filly who hasn't yet won a stakes but who does have six wins at Calder Race Course to her credit.

Foals sold in utero by Shadwell have done well in the sales ring too. Shadwell sold the mare MAMLAKAH in foal to Elusive Quality at the 2004 Keeneland November sale to KYR Bloodstock. The resulting foal brought the hammer down at $500,000 at the 2006 Keeneland September yearling sale.

Another sold-in-utero foal to resell extremely well was produced by NADWAH. The Shadeed mare sold at the 2004 Keeneland November sale to Horse France while in foal to Shadwell stallion SAHM. The resulting foal brought 210,000 Euro at the recent Goffs yearling sale.

SHADWELL SALES GRADUATE WINS EL ENCINO-G2

GIRL WARRIOR, a Shadwell sales graduate, captured the G2 El Encino S. at Santa Anita. The 4-year-old filly, who was bred in Kentucky by Shadwell Farm, is by Elusive Quality out of the Marju (IRE) mare Qhazeenah (GB). She was sold at the 2002 Keeneland September yearling sale for $120,000 to Shawn Dugan, agent. Anthony Speelman owns GIRL WARRIOR and Neil Drysdale is her trainer.

The G2-winning filly began her career on the grass in Europe, but has really shined since returning to the U.S. and being switched to the dirt last September. In four starts on the main track, GIRL WARRIOR now has three victories, including the El Encino-G2.
