Lot 109 – For The Lads x Master Of My Fate
Prepare to embark on a journey of unparalleled excellence and seize the opportunity to own a racehorse of extraordinary pedigree. Boland Stud is proud to present a colt at the 2023 November Two-Year-Old Sale that possesses not only Gr.1 credentials but also the potential to redefine the standards of racing greatness. Our offering, Lot 109, is a Master Of My Fate colt out of a Gr.1 winning daughter of the illustrious Trippi. Trippi’s legacy as South Africa’s Champion Sire of 2015-2016 speaks volumes, and his influence extends far beyond the racetrack. Trippi’s broodmare daughters have already produced earners of more than $41,000,000, and among them are a constellation of champions and graded stakes winners. Trippi mares have been responsible for the emergence of exceptional horses like champion Gabor, Gr.1 Allan Robertson Fillies Championship winner Miss Florida, and the dual Gr.1 winning sprinter Gimme A Prince. Additionally, Trippi mares have produced graded stakes winners such as King Of Gems, Pink Tourmaline, Sheela, Signalman, and Miss Sunset. However, the true stars of Trippi’s legacy are the half-brothers, Liam’s Map and Not This Time, both of whom currently rank among the leading sires in North America. Collectively, they have sired an astonishing 50 stakes winners, including Gr.1 champions like Colonel Liam, Epicenter, Sibelius, Wicked Whisper, Basin, Up To The Mark, Princess Noor, Just One Time, and Juju’s Map.
Now, Boland Stud is honoured to offer you a chance to own a piece of this exceptional lineage. Lot 109 is a half-brother to three winners, including the impressive Tamil Tigress, who finished third in the Listed Hollywoodbets Super League Devon Air Stakes last season. The colt’s dam, For The Lads, is a top-class racemare who triumphed in both the Gr.1 Golden Slipper and the Listed Ruffian Stakes at two years old, demonstrating her exceptional talent. For The Lads carries a rich heritage of racing excellence, with a stakes winner as her dam and a stakes-placed runner as her granddam. This lineage traces back to the distinguished Gr.1 Allan Robertson Bloodline Championship runner-up Tight Drums, herself a daughter of the remarkable Tight Drums, a full-sister to dual Gr.1 winner Drum Star. The legacy continues with Tight Drums, as she produced Gr.3 King’s Cup runner-up Drumbold and the dam of Equus Champion and Gr.1 Vodacom Durban July winner Heavy Metal. The family tree extends further to Star Drums, named South Africa’s Broodmare Of The Year in 1999, who not only produced Gr.1 Horse Chestnut ‘1600’/Gr.1 Champions Stakes winner Drum Star but also the dam of Gr.1 Sharp Electronics Cup winner Planetary Music. Furthermore, this prestigious lineage also boasts Gr.2 KZN Guineas winner Twist Of Fate, a remarkable horse sired by none other than Master Of My Fate – the same sire as our exceptional colt. Twist Of Fate’s impressive career earned him more than R3.7 million in prize money and saw him finish as the runner-up in both the Gr.1 Cape Guineas and Gr.1 Daily News 2000.
