Perfect Power

B 2019 15.2½HH (1.59M)
Ardad – Sagely (Frozen Power)
Standing at Dalham Hall Stud, Newmarket

Scintillating last-to-first Royal Ascot specialist whose powers of acceleration are exactly the sort of thing that makes our sport so thrilling. Winner of not one but four elite speed stallion-making races. The first horse ever to win three sprinting G1s at two and three so early in his career. From the number one Royal Ascot juvenile sire line of Kodiac and Ardad, both also highly commercial.
