May 9, 2014Delago Deluxe Fee Remains at $11,000
Newhaven Park were thrilled with the response to their exciting young sire Delago Deluxe last year and will keep the Group I winning son of Encosta de Lago at the same fee of $11,000 (incl GST) for 2014, which is a lot of bang for your buck when you consider his credentials.
“He covered 111 mares last year which will give him every opportunity to succeed and we can’t wait to see his first foals,” said John Kelly.
“He has let down into a magnificent looking horse and if his stock share his good looks and ability as we anticipate, breeders will be very happy.”
An explosive sprinter by Northern Meteor’s champion sire Encosta de Lago, Delago Deluxe won the South African equivalent of Golden Slipper and Newmarket Handicap, so is a dual Group I winner.
While Northern Meteor’s stud career was cut short due to his tragic premature death last year, he has three sire sons off to stud this season in Zoustar, Fighting Sun and Eurozone, highlighting the strength and commercial appeal of the Encosta de Lago sireline.
Delago Deluxe has equal or superior race performances to all of them in South Africa where he was the Champion 2YO Colt of his year in winning all four starts as a juvenile.
Delago Deluxe comes from an outstanding female family being closely related to Group I winners Duporth and Excites, not to mention Group II winner Tickets and million dollar earner Staging.
With his oldest progeny just two year-olds Duporth has made an encouraging start to his stud career and is running second on the leading Australian First Season Sires List by earnings.
