Mark this day, as our freshman sire SCALO (Lando - Sky Dancing) recorded his first Black-Type progeny. The fact that the three-year-old, who wrote himself into the history books, is a product of our own breeding operation makes the good news all the more sweet for us.
RONALDO is his name and we bred him out of the Danehill-mare REINE GALANTE. Waldemar Hickst trains the colt for Rhbs Racing for whom he fought home bravely to finish the 37th running of the Swiss Derby with a phantastic third place. Marc Lerner was aboard Ronaldo for this 2400 m classic challenge that saw a strong field competing for the crown, which eventually went to Malkoboy from the stables of French champion trainer Henry-Alex Pantall. |
