Shamardal – Lava Flow (Dalakhani)
Standing at Dalham Hall Stud, Newmarket
Shamardal’s incredible Horse of the Year juvenile, and the highest rated in the stallion-making family of Kodiac and Invincible Spirit. His G1 National Stakes is the defining two-year-old performance of the century. More than 300 mares of exceptional quality in his first two books.
It's rare to get the chance to buy a foal like this. He has such presence about him – loads of size and scope and bags of quality.
Ard Erin Stud, on its 150,000gns purchase
She was always a star. Correct, a good walker, never a problem and a lovely temperament.
Haras de la Louvière, vendor of a €320,000 filly
He seems to be passing on all his positive attributes. The foals I’ve seen have been very correct and racy, with great colour and depth, very clean limbs and good walkers.
Stanley Lodge, on its 150,000gns colt
He was a very athletic good moving horse, equally importantly was his fantastic temperament – he was bomb-proof.
