Lot 352 – Allez Afrique x The United States
The United States filly to star at national yearling sales
Few, if any, South African based stallions have made a more explosive start to their stud career than did the The United States. The Gr.1 winning son of Galileo’s very first runner, Sheela, made a breath-taking, winning debut when romping away, to beat male rivals, to win the Listed Storm Bird Stakes recently by three and three quarter lengths.
The United States, who earned more than $2 million during his racing days which saw him win group races in both Australia and Ireland, makes plenty of appeal as a potentially top-class stallion. Winner of the Gr.1 Ranvet Stakes, the handsome chestnut is a son of the world’s premier sire and is a full-brother to a pair of outstanding, multiple Gr.1 winners in the form of Hermosa and Hydrangea.From the same family as hugely influential champion sire Last Tycoon, The United States is one of three Gr.1 winners produced by the speedy Gr.2 winner Beauty Is Truth, herself a daughter of outstanding sire and broodmare sire Pivotal.
Boland Stud will be offering an exceptionally well bred daughter of this exciting young stallion at this year’s National Sale. The filly (Lot 352) in question is a half-sister to four winners, who between them have won nearly 20 races, notably millionaire African Warrior. That Boland Stud bred rated among the best of his year, when African Warrior captured all of the Gr.2 Haval Motors South Africa Umkhomazi Stakes, Gr.3 The Independent On Saturday Affluence Godolphin Barb Stakes and KZN Yearling Sale Million.
