Unleash Greatness

Are you ready to embark on a journey of unparalleled excitement and triumph? Boland Stud invites you to seize a remarkable opportunity and acquire a true champion, Lot 88 – an exquisite filly born from the union of Captain’s Lullaby and the legendary Vercingetorix. Prepare to be captivated by her exceptional beauty and pedigree, for she is destined to dominate the racing world.

At Boland Stud, success with Vercingetorix is a tradition that continues to shine brightly. Their breeding prowess is evident in Vercingetorix’s Gr.2 winning son, African Warrior, who has earned millionaire status. Boland Stud’s consignment of a remarkable Vercingetorix-sired colt at this year’s National Yearling Sale fetched an impressive R2.4 million. Furthermore, a Vercingetorix colt commanded the top price of R1,100,000 at the 2022 KZN Yearling Sale. It is undeniable that the demand for Vercingetorix’s progeny is soaring, fuelled by their exceptional performance on the racetrack.

Vercingetorix’s offspring have been making waves both on and off the track. In the 2022-2023 season, his progeny have already produced nine stakes winners, including the likes of Bereave, Cousin Casey, Mrs Geriatrix, Nebraas, Rascallion, and the magnificent Gr.2 World Sports Betting Fillies Guineas winner, Peach Daiquiri. Notably, his two-year-olds have also achieved notable victories, such as Mrs Geriatrix’s triumph in the Gr.2 WSB SA Fillies Nursery/Listed Ruffian Stakes. Now, Boland Stud proudly presents a meticulously bred daughter of Vercingetorix at the upcoming KZN Yearling Sale. Bred on the same Vercingetorix/Captain Al cross as the Gr.1 Allan Robertson Championship winner, Vernichey, this filly is a half-sister to three remarkable winners, with Vontreo being the standout. Vontreo, who now races in Hong Kong as Royal Agility, has amassed HK $1,380,600 in prize money. This exceptional pair was produced by the illustrious Captain Al-sired mare, Captain’s Lullaby. With her five victories, including a second-place finish in the Gr.3 Kenilworth Fillies Nursery and the Listed Perfect Promise Fillies Sprint, Captain’s Lullaby is part of a distinguished family that includes the Gr.3 Byerley Turk winner, Mambo Mime, and the stakes-placed Muamba, whose daughter, Live My Life, recently defeated the Horse of the Year, Captain’s Ransom, in the Gr.3 Splashout Prix Du Cap.

Gr.1 Winner – Vernicey (by Vercingetorix)

But the pedigree doesn’t stop there. Captain’s Lullaby’s dam, Murmuration, is a winning daughter of the outstanding broodmare sire Miswaki, whose lineage includes the legendary Galileo and Sea The Stars. This prestigious bloodline also traces back to the breed-shaping sire Red Ransom, among other illustrious names. Adding to the filly’s exceptional lineage, multiple champion sire Captain Al, serving as the broodmare sire, has already proven his prowess by producing Gr.1 winners such as Kommetdieding, Same Jurisdiction, Eden Roc, Gunner, Potent Power, and Vernichey.
