Lot 119 – Eurythmics x Querari
Elevate Your Legacy with a Star Querari Filly from Boland Stud
In the realm of luxury racehorse ownership, nothing compares to the exhilaration of acquiring a filly with a proven pedigree, exceptional performance lineage, and the potential to be a standout champion. Boland Stud is thrilled to offer an extraordinary opportunity at the upcoming 2024 August Two Year Old Sale—a full-sister to the high-class racehorse Cruise Control, a filly destined for greatness.
Cruise Control: A Testament to Excellence
The Boland Stud-bred Cruise Control has etched his name in the annals of racing history. From his debut, where he shattered the track record for 800m at Fairview, to his impressive tally of eleven victories, Cruise Control’s career has been nothing short of spectacular. His high-class form was further solidified when he finished fourth, beaten just over a neck by the star colt Lucky Lad, in the 2024 Gr.1 Golden Horse Sprint. On that occasion, he outperformed such notable stakes winners as Dyce, Pray For Rain, Countdown, Cliff Top, and Swing Upon A Star.
Cruise Control – A Record Breaker!
We are proud to present Lot 119, a full-sister to the speedy Cruise Control. This filly shares her sire, Querari, with a host of high-class fillies, including Gr.1 Thekwini Stakes winners Bavarian Beauty and Querari Falcon, and other graded stakes winners such as Caya Coco, Cockney Pride, Galla Vanting, Gobsmacked, Homely Girl, Maryah, Marigold Hotel, Mill Queen, and Supreme Quest.
Querari: A Sire of Champions
Querari has established himself as a leading sire, known for producing outstanding fillies. His progeny have consistently excelled, with notable successes such as:
- Bavarian Beauty and Querari Falcon: Gr.1 Thekwini Stakes winners.
- River Queraress: A facile winner of the 2022 Listed Ruffian Stakes.
- Caya Coco, Cockney Pride, Galla Vanting, and many more graded stakes winners.
Exceptional Maternal Lineage
The filly on offer is out of Eurythmics, a Sail From Seattle mare with an impeccable pedigree. Eurythmics is a full-sister to both Gr.1 Cape Flying Championship winner Gulf Storm and Gr.3 Sycamore Sprint queen Seattle Singer. Between them, Gulf Storm and Seattle Singer won or placed in 12 black type races, earning more than R2,000,000 in prize money.
Eurythmics herself is a half-sister to Global Drummer, a six-time stakes winner and Horse Of The Year in the Eastern Cape for 2021-2022. Her dam, Royal Drummer, was a daughter of the outstanding broodmare Drummer Girl, a product of the former champion sire Al Mufti.
Drummer Girl: A Lineage of Champions
Drummer Girl produced four winners, including:
- Hit Song: Gr.2 The Nursery winner.
- Rock Concert: Gr.1 Allan Robertson Fillies Championship third and dam of dual Gr.1 winner Van Halen.
- Rock Opera: Equus Champion 2YO Filly of 2005, who won all four starts at two, including the Gr.1 Allan Robertson Fillies Championship.
Rock Opera’s success extended to her stud career, producing five winners, including French Gr.1 winner Royal Meeting (Criterium International) and the durable Heavy Metal. Heavy Metal’s illustrious career includes victories in the Gr.2 Richmond Stakes, Gr.2 Godolphin Mile, and Gr.2 Maktoum Challenge Round 1.
Global Success
Royal Meeting, a progeny of Rock Opera, has made a sensational start to his stud career, with his very first crop headed by the 2024 Gr.1 Sportsbet Blue Diamond Stakes winner Hayasugi. This family continues to make waves on the global stage, affirming its legacy of excellence.
