Pivotal - Divina Mia
The final foal for 2009 arrived at Pantycoed this
morning when DIVINA MIA produced a brown colt by PIVOTAL. The
colt, his dam's 12th foal, is half-brother to six winners, including
stakeswinner ANTEDILUVIAN, and by the same sire as Pantycoed-bred
classic winner SAOIRE.
Full details of all this season's Pantycoed foals are
available on our 'Mares' page.

Four Rings
Pantycoed-bred TINSHU became the fourth winner from
four foals out of RING OF ESTEEM today when scoring readily at
Wolverhampton. TINSHU was in utero when RING OF ESTEEM
was purchased in February 2006, since when all four of her foals have
become winners, with her first produce MONTPELLIER picking up some
blacktype when second in two Listed contests in Abu Dhabi last month.

'Classic' success
Classic Descent, 3yo half-brother to Pantycoed-bred
classic winner SAOIRE, put the diappointment of his disqualification
from a 2yo Newmarket maiden win behind him when scoring an
emphatic five length win over the same seven furlongs of the Rowley
Mile.
The son of Auction House quickened away in the final
furlong to give his owner Joe Joyce, who also raced SAOIRE, hopes of
having another good one on his hands out of POLISH DESCENT.
He is the third Pantycoed-bred foal of 2005 to win,
and the fourth winner from five foals of 2005 prepared at Pantycoed,
the other being the foal purchase RELATIVE STRENGTH (see below)

2008 foalings
An ARAAFA colt born this morning is the fourth arrival
at Pantycoed this year, and takes us to the halfway point in our 2008
foalings, with four mares still to foal.
A week early, but a good strong sort and a good
advertisement for the first crop of his sire, he is the second foal
out of Pantycoed-bred seven-time winner AND TOTO TOO.
The three older foals we have are another colt and two
fillies. The colt, another by a first crop horse, and also a
great advertisement for his sire, ICEMAN, is out of KIRUNA, and is
inbred to SPECIAL, to whom both sire and dam trace.
The two fillies, both attractive types, are a NEEDWOOD
BLADE out of Pantycoed-bred 2yo winner SABLE N' SILK and a second
ICEMAN, this one from the boarding mare ENNOBLING.
