The first son by Night Of Thunder to stand at stud, Isaac Shelby, has had his first mares scanned in foal. 

Among them are Rio’s Cliffs, a daughter of Canford Cliffs, who has already produced a Stakes horse by Night Of Thunder and comes from the immediate family of Group 1 winner Scalo.  Also included is Grade 2 winner Asamosa, the daughter of American Pharoah and Renee’s Titan, a half-sister to three Group/Graded Stakes winners. These are just two of several high-quality mares booked to Isaac Shelby, underlining the strong support for his first season at stud.

Standing at Newsells Park Stud, Isaac Shelby, is a Group 2 winning two-year-old and Classic-performing miler.  He won the Group 2 Superlative Stakes and finished second in the Group 1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains by just a short neck, having previously made his three-year-old debut in a high-class running of the Group 3 Greenham Stakes defeating multiple Group 1 winning miler Charyn by three lengths.

Julian Dollar, General Manager at Newsells Park Stud, said, “We’re delighted that Isaac Shelby has got off to such a great start at stud, which is testament to his wonderful temperament.  Isaac Shelby was hugely talented – even better than his sire at two, and a proper Guineas horse too – credentials which are proving popular with breeders.”
