Unveil Your Next Champion: A Filly Bred for Speed and Excellence

We are thrilled to present an exceptional opportunity to acquire a racehorse filly with an illustrious pedigree, unmatched speed, and a legacy of success. Boland Stud, on behalf of Boland Stud and Boland’s grooms, proudly offers a filly bred on the same The United States/Trippi cross as the sensational Sheela, a name that has reverberated through the South African racing world.

Meet the Prodigy: A Filly Destined for Glory

This filly is a true testament to superior breeding and performance, promising not only an exhilarating racing career but also a potential future as a prized broodmare.

Dam: California Cool (by Trippi)

  • A winning own-sister to Listed In Full Flight Handicap winner On That Boulevard.
  • Out of Gr.3 KIC Fillies Mile/Gr.3 Three Troikas Stakes winner Hollywoodboulevard.
  • Hollywoodboulevard, who bested subsequent Horse Of The Year Igugu in the Emperors Palace Ready To Run Cup, is sired by the outstanding racehorse and sire Street Cry.

Street Cry’s Legacy

Broodmare sire of more than 150 stakes winners.
Influential in producing notable Gr.1 winners like Vino Rosso (Breeders’ Cup Classic), Farnan (Golden Slipper Stakes), Romantic Warrior (Ladbrokes Cox Plate), and Rebel’s Romance (Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf).

Sire: The United States

A son of the legendary sire Galileo, The United States has made a tremendous start to his stud career. Sheela, his first runner, winner, and stakes winner, was one of just ten foals in his first crop. His second crop includes:

  • Gr.3 Sea Cottage Stakes winner and Gr.1 World Sports Betting SA Derby runner up Billy Bowlegs
  • Listed Ibhayi Stakes winner Khaya’s Hope
  • Gr.3 World Sports Betting Variety Club Mile winner Without Question

In 2023-2024, The United States’ progeny have continued to impress, with standout performers such as:

  • Listed Dahlia Plate winner Kingdundee
  • Gr.1 Allan Robertson Championship runner-up Rodeo Drive
  • Gr.2 Durban Golden Horseshoe third The Specialist
  • Debut winners Banff and Henry Harvey

Why This Filly Stands Out

  1. Proven Bloodlines: Bred from a lineage that has consistently produced winners, this filly’s pedigree combines the best of The United States and Trippi.
  2. Speed and Performance: Following in the footsteps of Sheela, one of the fastest fillies of her generation, this filly promises outstanding speed and agility on the racetrack.
  3. Future Broodmare Potential: With a pedigree rich in champions, this filly offers significant potential as a future broodmare, ensuring her value extends beyond her racing career.
  4. Exceptional Legacy: The influence of Street Cry as a broodmare sire further enhances this filly’s pedigree, adding a layer of excellence and proven success.

Sheela: A Benchmark of Excellence

Sheela’s remarkable achievements set a high benchmark for this filly. Sheela, a sensation as a two-year-old, showcased her prowess with:

  • Victory in the Listed Storm Bird Stakes by three and three-quarter lengths on debut.
  • Winning the Gr.2 Heineken SA Nursery by a length, defeating subsequent graded stakes winners Smorgasbord and Rollwiththepunches.
  • Finishing third in the Gr.1 Allan Robertson Fillies Championship.
  • Securing a juvenile plate at the Vaal, ending her two-year-old campaign with three wins from four starts.
  • Victory in the 2022 Listed The Citizen Golden Loom Handicap.
    Sheela won or placed in 11 of 12 starts, earning over R700,000 on the racetrack.

Among the top-class performers she defeated were Eden Roc, Pearl Of Asia, William Robertson, and champion Isivunguvungu.

Seize the Opportunity

Owning this filly is more than an investment; it’s a statement of prestige and a step into the annals of racing history. This is your chance to own a piece of the legacy that has defined excellence on the racetrack. The combination of her impeccable pedigree, the success of her relatives, and the promise of her sire make this filly an unparalleled opportunity.

To secure this exceptional filly or for more detailed information, please contact Boland Stud. Embrace the thrill of racing and the prestige of ownership with a filly destined for greatness.
