Lot 129 – California Cool x Legislate
Unveiling the Epitome of Equestrian Excellence
With bated breath, we present to you the crown jewel of the equestrian world – Lot 129, an exceptional colt sired by none other than the illustrious Horse Of The Year and four-time Gr.1 victor, Legislate. Boland Stud, a beacon of breeding excellence, stands humbled to unveil this majestic prodigy at the highly anticipated August Two Year Old Sale. Brace yourself, for this colt exudes boundless potential, and his sire’s unparalleled achievements are a testament to the heights he is destined to reach. Legislate, one of the finest sons of the legendary stallion Dynasty, boasts remarkable statistics. A staggering 81% winners to foals and an impressive 22% stakes winners to foals from his first three crops amplify the allure of his lineage. His first crop proudly produced six stakes winners, including the remarkable Airways Law, Hoedspruit, So Flawless, and Zimbaba. Furthermore, Legislate’s second crop unveiled this season’s Gr.3 Track And Ball Derby victor, Runaway Song, and the regal queen of the Listed Jacaranda Handicap, Bureau Des Legende.
At the 2023 August Two Year Old Sale, Legislate will grace the stage with a colt bred on the same magical Legislate/Trippi cross that enchanted racing enthusiasts with the captivating 2022 Gr.2 Glorious Goodwood Premier Trophy winner, Hoedspruit. This colt, born of boundless potential, emerges from the esteemed Trippi mare, California Cool, whose impressive triumph in her first two races sets the tone for his illustrious journey ahead. The exquisitely bred California Cool shares the same lineage as her full-brother, Listed In Full Flight Handicap champion, On That Boulevard, whose prowess on the track earned him nearly R500,000 in prize money. Both are descendants of the distinguished racemare, Hollywoodboulevard, a five-time victor, including triumphs in the Gr.3 KIC Fillies Mile and Gr.3 Three Troikas Stakes. The noble Hollywoodboulevard, runner-up in the 2011 Gr.2 Gauteng Fillies Guineas, further earned victory in the 2010 Emperors Palace Ready To Run Cup, a race that saw her compete with none other than the eventual Gr.1 Vodacom Durban July victor and South African Horse Of The Year, Igugu. Hollywoodboulevard’s lineage is graced by the mighty Gr.1 Dubai World Cup victor and distinguished stallion, Street Cry, the progenitor of celebrated champions like Winx, Zenyatta, Street Sense, and the South African Horse Of The Year, Oh Susanna. Street Cry’s legacy extends to his excellence as a broodmare sire, having produced over 130 stakes winners, including illustrious names such as Rebel’s Romance and Vino Rosso in the Breeders’ Cup.Trippi, the revered broodmare sire of this colt, flourished in the 2022-2023 season, with his South African protégés led by the phenomenal three-year-old Charles Dickens, the Gr.1 WSB Cape Town Met victor, Jet Dark, the glorious G1 Hollywoodbets Durban July champion, Winchester Mansion, and the promising two-year-old filly, October Morn, among others. Trippi’s legacy as a top-class broodmare sire boasts exceptional star power, with his daughters producing not only esteemed US stallions like Liam’s Map and Not This Time but also South African Gr.1 champions such as Gabor, Gimme A Prince, Miss Florida, and She’s A Keeper, to name but a few. As of this writing, Trippi’s broodmare daughters have impressively produced over 40 stakes winners, with their progeny amassing earnings exceeding $44 million in stakes.
