Lot 191 – Mataaib x Vercingetorix

Own a Legacy – A Vercingetorix Half-Brother to a Gr.1 Champion Awaits

There are racehorses, and then there are legends in the making. An opportunity now presents itself to own not just a thoroughbred, but a colt bred to conquer. Boland Stud is proud to offer Lot 191, a blue-blooded son of South Africa’s leading sire, Vercingetorix, and a half-brother to Gr.1 Golden Horse Sprint champion and near-millionaire Battle Force. This is a racehorse bred for dominance, and an opportunity that demands attention.

Battle Force – Gr.1 Winner

• Gr.1 Cartier Paddock Stakes Winner – Double Grand Slam
• Gr.2 Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas Winner – Spumante Dolce
• Gr.2 Green Point Stakes Winner & Met Runner-Up – Oriental Charm
• Gr.3 Got The Greenlight Stakes Hero – Greaterix
• Gr.3 City Of Cape Town Politician Stakes Winner – Zeitz
• Gr.2 Premier Trophy Victor – Rascallion

Vercingetorix’s offspring are setting new benchmarks, and his dominance is further reinforced by his unmatched sales success in 2025, where he topped the Summer Sale, producing the two highest-priced yearlings at an astounding average of R1,379,167.

A Maternal Line Steeped in Greatness
This colt’s dam, Mataaib, has already proven her value as a producer, having foaled four winners across multiple sires, including the phenomenal Gr.1 speedster Battle Force. Mataaib’s pedigree further amplifies this colt’s potential:

• Daughter of Elusive City, winner of the Gr.1 Prix Morny, a stallion known for imparting class and tenacity.
• Half-sister to stakes-winning Flash Dance.
• Granddam Resquilleuse, a half-sister to French Gr.3 winner Roi De Rome.
• Descended from French 1000 Guineas winner Riverqueen, a matriarch whose legacy includes elite performers Altieri, Zaaki, and Iresine.

This is a direct bloodline of classic winners and international champions – a pedigree that reads like a script for greatness.

A Stallion Prospect with International Appeal
Not only does this colt possess the physique and presence befitting a future champion, but his pedigree also makes him a valuable long-term investment. With Vercingetorix’s reputation soaring and his bloodline intertwined with Alycidon, Bustino, Turn-To, and South African icon Dynasty, this colt is primed not only for the track but for a future at stud.

Your Opportunity Awaits
Opportunities like this are rare. The chance to own a Vercingetorix colt, bred in the purple and primed for stardom, is not just an acquisition—it is an investment in history. We invite you to view this exceptional colt at the 2025 National Yearling Sale and secure your place in the winner’s circle.
