Lot 48 – Sing For Me x William Longsward
Unveiling the Epitome of Racing Excellence
With great excitement, we present to you the dazzling treasure of the equestrian world – Lot 48, a captivating filly by none other than the illustrious former Cape Guineas victor and progenitor of greatness, William Longsword. An aura of brilliance surrounds this esteemed stallion, and his recent surge in the 2022-2023 racing season has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. A true marvel, the son of the revered Captain Al leaves in his wake a trail of nine winners in a single week, including the charismatic Itsrainingwilliam (Gr.3 WSB Legal Eagle Stakes), the gallant Lord William (WSB Sledgehammer), and the resplendent Virginia Sweet (Listed East Cape Oaks), to name a few. Accompanying this triumphant lineage are the burgeoning talents of the promising Just Be Lekker, the indomitable Back In Business, and the victorious Melech. In the spotlight at the highly anticipated 2023 August Two Year Old Sale, Boland Stud, As Agent, shall present a gem that is nothing short of extraordinary – a filly born of William Longsword and the illustrious Sing For Me. Hailing from the revered lineage of the legendary Galileo, damsire of the magnificent 2023 Gr.1 Betfred Derby victor, Auguste Rodin, Sing For Me stands adorned as a full-sister to the celebrated Gr3 Cumberland Lodge Stakes and Gr.3 Glorious Stakes champion, Quest For Peace. The illustrious Danehill Dancer is the sire of the elegant Sing For Me, who further claims victory as a half-sister to three distinguished black type horses.
Prepare to be enchanted by this stellar international lineage, where French classic winners Baiser Vole and Mistress Ford, Kentucky Derby victor Giacomo, and Champion Stakes champion Hurry Harriet grace its pages. William Longsword, no stranger to this prestigious lineage, has previously showcased his brilliance with the New Turf Carriers eThekwini Sprint victor, Shipholia, who also belongs to this esteemed female line. This exceptional filly, closely inbred to the illustrious stallion Sadler’s Wells, manifests the same glorious William Longsword/Galileo cross that bestowed us with the illustrious Gr.2 winner, Dyce. The unparalleled Galileo, an exceptional broodmare sire, boasts an impressive roster of nearly 300 stakes winners, headlined by classic champions such as Auguste Rodin, Qualify, Galileo Gold, Night Of Thunder, and Magna Grecia. The impact of Galileo extends to the current realm of racing with extraordinary two-year-old City Of Troy and the resplendent Gr.1 Commonwealth Cup/Gr.1 Pertemps Network July Cup Stakes victor, Shaquille.
