Klawervlei Stud’s versatile Gr1 Vodacom Durban July winner Pomodoro (Jet Master) continues to catch the eye as a sire.
South Africa’s Leading First Season Sire of 2017-2018, Pomodoro is a proven source of high-class gallopers, with his progeny already including the likes of dual Gr1 winner, and Equus Champion, RETURN FLIGHT, Gr1 Cape Guineas winner RUSSIAN ROCK, R5 million earner CIRILLO, and short-lived Gr2 WSB Camellia Stakes winner GOLDEN BELLE.
The handsome Pomodoro : Jet Master – Golden Apple (Northern Guest)
Pomodoro also has a number of promising sorts waiting in the wings, with his current representatives including BLACK THORN (winner of three of his last four starts), BARZALONA (winner of the recent Need For Speed Sprint) -and POMODORO’S JET. The latter made a big impression when shedding his maiden impressively on L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate day, and he looks a progressive three-year-old in the making.
The July winning Pomodoro has an exciting bunch in the Klawervlei draft on offer at Sunday’s Cape Premier Yearling Sale, as can be seen from below:
Lot 63 c Pomodoro -Intergalactic
Bred on the same cross which produced Pomodoro’s talented daughter CARALLUMA, this colt is out of Gr2 Ipi Tombe Challenge winner INTERGALACTIC (Kahal).
The latter, also third in the Gr1 Empress Club Stakes, is out of a mare by one of the greatest stallions in history -GALILEO (Sadler’s Wells), and Intergalactic herself is directly descended in female line from arguably the most famous mare in the studbook -LA TROIENNE (Teddy).
