South Africa’s overseas campaigners feature prominently in Timeform’s Racehorses Of 2013
Montjeu and his fellow star at Coolmore, Galileo, are firmly entrenched as the two best classic stallions in Europe. This year, the first two home in the English Derby were Pour Moi and Treasure Beach (by Galileo).
Someone had a lot of fun putting together the pedigree of Trippi’s first G1 winner, R Heat Lightning. The filly is the second foal of her 3-time winning dam Yellow Heat, and she is full sister to stakes placed colt Hot Trip. Yellow Heat is a daughter of stallion Gold Fever, who is a son of Forty Niner. The latter is also the grandsire of Trippi, which makes R Heat Lightning inbred 3×3 to Forty Niner.
