Thankfully Simmy, a son of Mehmas

Race entries

Tally Ho’s stallion MEHMAS was big in the news again. Having now sired 15th Group Winners and five individual Group 1 winners, most recently at The BREEDRS CUP JUVENILE TURF SPRINT when Magnum Force storms through the field to land the juvenile Grade 1. In the Group 1 National Stakes, it was Scorthy Champ who powered to victory, before VERTICAL BLUE landed the Group 1 Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac - Criterium des Pouliches on L'Arc de Triomphe weekend. His consistent daughter Believing keeps confirming her quality with another close 3rd in the Group 1 Prix de l'Abbaye after a fantastic season which inludes the Group 1 Nunthorpe, and a 2nd in the Group 1 Flying Five Stakes behind Bradsell. She is a Group 2 winner over course and distance in the Sapphire Stakes. Mehmas has sired 60 individual 2-year-old winners so far this season, also includes Group 2 Flying Childers Stakes scorer Aesterius, who added the Doncaster contest to his earlier Group 3 Prix d'Arenberg win.

Let’s not just focus on the sires involved though, let’s extrapolate out to the distaff, analysing further why we could have a top class horse on our hands - let’s give a nod to ALWAYS THANKFUL, the winning Showcasing mare, from whence this gorgeous colt descends, she’s already produced the high class, black type performer NIBRAS ANGEL and she hails from a very speedy and classy family that contains over a dozen, close relative, Group performers.
