Mohaather Has First Mares In Foal

Group 1 winner Mohaather (GB) (Showcasing {GB}) has the first three mares he bred in foal, Shadwell Stud announced on Tuesday. Both the listed winner Seeharn (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) and Dixie Dreamer (GB) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}), who is a half to stakes winner Blanche Dubawi (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), were pronounced in foal after being covered by the G1 Sussex S. hero. Mohaather commands £20,000 this term.

“It's always an exciting time of year and I was delighted to hear his first three mares had been scanned in foal,” said Shadwell Stud Director Richard Lancaster. “Mohaather has been a consummate professional in his new role–incredibly straightforward and easy to manage. He has a great temperament and is particularly laid back, which is always a huge help.

“He has a fantastic book of mares–a big thank you to all the breeders who have supported him–and is due to cover dual Group 1 winner Nazeef (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) this week. At this early stage, it appears he's a very fertile horse and we look forward to a long and successful breeding season.”

Portamento to Hedgeholme Stud

The MGSP Portamento (Ire) (Shamardal-Octave, by Unbridled’s Song) will stand his first full season at Hedgeholme Stud in 2021. Racing from the age of two through January of his 8-year-old year, the Mohd Khalifa Al Basti colourbearer won six times and was second in the 2015 G3 Hackwood S. and third in the G2 Meydan Sprint, the latter in 2019. Bred by Darley in Ireland, he was placed a further three times at listed level. The grey retired to Hedgeholme with a record of 38-6-4-5 and $263,308 in earnings. Portamento joined the Hedgeholme roster in late April of 2020 and his fee will be announced later.

“I have always liked Portamento and was anxious to breed from him,” said current owner Malih Al Basti. “I am delighted to stand him alongside my other horse with Andrew and Deborah at Hedgeholme Stud, Intrinsic (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}–Infallible {GB}, by Pivotal {GB}) who from a small book of mares, has enjoyed considerable success with his stock.”

Added Hedgeholme Studmaster Andrew Spalding of the former Godolphin silkbearer, “Portamento is an exceptionally good looking horse and we are looking forward to seeing his first foals in the spring. He proved to be a very fertile horse and has developed well over the summer.”

Out of the MGISW and dual Breeders’ Cup placed Octave, Portamento is from the extended family of MGISW Ms. Eloise (Nasty and Bold).
