New sires for 2008 - ManduroFiled on 17 Dec 2007 @ 15:41
New sires for 2007 | New sires for 2008 | Fee tables - all sires Manduro (GER)Monsun - Mandellicht, by Be My Guest Top-rated racehorse of 2007 unbeaten as a five-year-oldManduro showed his best form as a five-year-old when ridden by Stephane Pasquier – who was unbeaten on the horse – but it shouldn’t be forgotten that under the care of Peter Schiergen he was champion two-year-old in Germany on the back of a top-class five-length win in the Group Three Preis der Winterfavouriten. At three training problems meant he didn’t run until September, when a Listed and Group Three win came in short order. A trip to Rome for the Group One Premio Roma saw Manduro’s only unplaced run, when fourth to his stablemate Soldier Hollow. At the end of his three-year-old season, Manduro was transferred by his owner Baron Georg von Ullmann to Andre Fabre, who at the time had just spectacularly improved the Baron’s Shirocco to his Breeders’ Cup win. His debut in France came with victory in the Group Two Prix d’Harcourt – Pasquier was riding – but for the remainder of the season Christophe Soumillon and Olivier Peslier failed to get the best out of him, with seconds in the Prix d’Ispahan, Prix Jacques le Marois and the Prix Dollar and thirds in the Prix Ganay, the Prince of Wales’s Stakes, the Prix Messidor and the Prix du Moulin. In five outings at the age of five, Manduro dominated utterly, allowed by Pasquier to gain momentum with plenty of space around him. A dominating display in the Group Three Earl of Sefton was followed by his first Group One win in the Prix d’Ispahan, beating Turtle Bowl by five lengths.
His Royal Ascot win was the best performance on turf of the year
Six lined up for the Prince of Wales’s Stakes, five of them Group One winners, and Manduro proved the class among them, beating subsequent Arc winner Dylan Thomas by a length and a quarter in a performance that stands as the best performance on turf of the year. Fabre hatched an ambitious plan to run Manduro, hitherto confined to no further than a mile and a quarter, in the Jacques le Marois over a mile before a tilt at the Arc and a final run in the Breeders’ Cup. Manduro duly delivered over a mile, beating Holocene by three lengths at Deauville before lining up in the Prix Foy, the Arc trial being his first attempt at a mile and a half. On the day, he showed himself to be every bit as good over a middle distance, beating Mandesha by two and a half lengths, but coming out of the race lame with a career-ending fracture. Dylan Thomas subsequently won an Arc that many observers felt was Manduro’s for the taking. Manduro is from the sixth crop of Monsun, which has also produced Pattern winners Anna Monda, Floriot and Royal Highness amongst others. Shirocco, Noble Stella, Gentlewave, Schiaparelli and Noble Stella have been standard bearers for the Gestut Schlenderhahn sire, whose crops have been increasing in size as his fee has risen from DM10,000 to €120,000. Monsun has proved himself to be an effective outcross, getting top-class runners from a variety of mares whilst having no Northern Dancer or Native Dancer blood himself. Manduro has one line of Northern Dancer blood through his dam’s sire Be My Guest. Race record
