Isaac Shelby, who became the first governor of Kentucky in 1791, is said to have inspired the Kentucky State Motto: “United We stand, shared, we fall”. He sounds like he was a good man to run British races, but the best we can hope now.
It quickly became clear that the night of the thunder was really his own and is one of three winners of Group 1 from this first Night of Thunder share.
The group winners have come again and again, and Isaac Shelby (GB) is from the fourth harvest of his fourth from the fourth harvest of his father from the award to be the first son of Night of Thunder to move into the stud. It is also remarkable for other reasons, just like Isaac Shelby for the earliest private purchases for Wathnan Racing in 2023 and he is also the first of the burgeoning runner gang of this operation to take over the stallion functions. Others will surely follow.
This week marked the official start of Isaac Shelby's Covering tasks in the Newsells Park Stud. During the sale in February, he enjoyed one day after Tattersalls when he joined the stallion parade, and where he seemed not to shoot his hair , to be back in public with many other horses.
“With a few at night, I handled myself from thunder and this Dubawi father a little, and I knew that her temperament is generally very good, but this horse seems to have an extraordinary nature,” says Julian Dollar, General Manager From Newsells Park Stud.
“He had released a year when he suffered an injury, so he hadn't been out, but he came into the yard and let himself go into the cage turning participation and then very straightforward. He is a very nice horse and he is just a nice character. “
Isaac Shelby's dam by Elaine, chiver from the oddly Heliostatic (Irish) Stare Kentucky Belle (IRE), may show in Ireland, but her name shows how that of her son on her American heritage. The Mare Place Dam Mine (mining) was a youthful winner who produced nine winners from her eleven runners, including the Gii goalkeeper Ramazutti (honorary classes). In fact, the first two dams from Mine Inning also produced a bunch of winners: 19 out of 22 runners, with a liberal scatter of black guy on the side.
Isaac Shelby, a shadow over 16hh, should fit most mares physically. He is 3 × 3 to Galileo (Irish), the father of the Heliostatic and the night of Thunder's Dam Forest Storm (IRE).
“We think that the 3 × 3 liner to Galileo is positive,” says Dollar. “I think . You have economics that is out of a Peinre Celebre mare. “
He continues: “We know [G1 Fillies’ Mile winner] Desert Flower, which is out of a Gdansk-Line mare and is thundering at night. We know that this night of the thunder is very good with Danehill and of course with his galileo in the family tree. You can imagine that this would be a very good combination for Isaac Shelby.
“Dubawi worked with Monsun and sharpened. I mean, the great thing about this fatherline is that it works with pretty much every DAM line. “
A purchase of 92,000 GBP from the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale by Sam Sangster, Isaac Shelby, was early with two for coach Brian Mehan and won the G2 superlative stakes between the year of the year (born GB) and City of Troy who win the same race. His Grandsire Dubawi also won the superlative in 2004.
In the G1 Dewhurst Stakes well, he jumped back to his three-year debut to take the G3 Greenham Stakes of Charyn (Irish) during a memorable race in which the favorite and subsequent 2,000 Guineas winner-Chaldean (GB ) separating company with Frankie Dettori about leaving the stands. From there, Isaac shelby traveled to Longchamp to get the G1 poule d'Sesai des Poulain.
Dollar adds: “When he came out as a three -year -old, he won excellently with his debut in the Greenham Stakes. [which is] Obviously a great classic attempt. He won this with three lengths from several winners of Group 1, Charyn, with the rest of the field miles. His obvious next step was to decide a guinea and he came in a tiny head to win a Guinenen. He was in front, but he was ready on the line. It is a proper horse with seven to eight. He has this speed, he has this pretense, so he has a terrible offer. “
Since Wathnan Racing is already in the Newsells Park -Tud, the group of group 1, the blue (IRE) (Blue Point {IRE}) under his aspiring horse chain in training.
“We are pleased to stand the only son of Night of Thunder, but the fact that he owned and we do it in collaboration with Wathnan Racing,” is very crucial, “says Dollar.” I hope these boys are To stay here, and you could have a great positive impact on the British breeding and racing industry.
“Working with two people like Ollie Tait and Richard Brown is an absolute dream. They are so elementary and know the industry from the inside and outside. You trust that we do a decent job. Everything is made with yes and no to a call. “
He adds: “You will support the horse more in the ring in the early days because you are building up your breeding tape, so start in this regard. It means a lot to them. He was one of the first horses you bought – I think he was probably the first to buy with which you had bought to run. I think he is crucial for you and you will support him accordingly. “
