Don’t miss the first yearlings by our stallion A’Ali at the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale and Tattersalls Somerville Sale over the next few weeks.

A’Ali was a brilliant juvenile speedster, who blitzed the field to win the Gr.2 Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot on only his second start, and went on to win three Gr.2 races over the minimum trip as a two-year-old, including the Prix Robert Papin and the Flying Childers Stakes.

As a three-year-old, A’Ali trained on to win the Gr.3 Coral Charge and the Gr.2 Sapphire Stakes before being placed in the Gr.1 Nunthorpe Stakes behind Battaash.

His first foals were well received at the foal sales last year realising 68,000gns, 67,000gns, 55,000gns, etc. 

Julian Dollar, general manager at Newsells Park Stud said: “A’Ali’s yearlings are very much peas out of the same pod. He’s exactly what it says on the tin: a very speedy, precocious horse. He’s everything you’d expect.

Going back to character, he’s a cheeky little boy with a smile on his face who comes out every morning and says, ‘What are we going to do today?’ He’s got that can-do attitude. His progeny look like him, they look tidy, precocious types that are really going to appeal at sales like Doncaster and Somerville.”

Other breeders/consignors of yearlings by A’Ali being offered at the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Sale are equally complimentary…
