Sir Prancealot Sires First U.S.-Conceived Winner, Will Cease Shuttle Duties

Edward Brown and Jeff Ganje's Lord Prancealot became the first U.S.-conceived winner for his globetrotting sire Sir Prancealot (Ire) in a Del Mar maiden special weight at first asking on July 29. Now based at Rancho San Miguel in California, the 13-year-old will no longer shuttle to Australia.

Bred by Ganje, Lord Prancealot is the third foal and winner out of the stakes-winning Country Reel mare Disko Dasko (Fr). The bay won the five-furlong race by 3 1/2 lengths in :58.62 (video). He was a $45,000 buy-back at the California Thoroughbred Breeders' Association (CTBA) Winter Mixed Sale earlier this year. Lord Prancealot is aiming for the $125,000 I'm Smokin S. for Cal-breds on Sept. 8.

Initially standing in Ireland beginning in 2013 and shuttling to Australia for the 2017-2022 Southern Hemisphere breeding seasons, the 2012 G2 Flying Childers S. hero relocated to Rancho San Miguel in California in 2020. One of the top first-season sires in Europe in 2016, Sir Prancealot now has 13 stakes winners worldwide, with four of his seven group/graded winners scoring in the U.S. Leading the charge is 2019 GI American Oaks heroine Lady Prancealot (Ire). Multiple Grade II winners Beau Recall (Ire) and Madam Dancealot (Ire) have also both placed at the highest level.

“Having such an impressive debut winner at Del Mar is no surprise for me after the time I've spent around Sir Prancealot,” said Adrian Gonzalez of Checkmate Thoroughbreds, who manages the stallion's U.S. syndicate. “I am confident this is just the tip of the iceberg for Sir Prancealot's first American crop.”

The stallion has covered almost 400 mares during his first four breeding seasons in the Golden State and stood for $10,000 this year.

Rancho San Miguel owner Tom Clark added, “We are very excited to announce that, due to the tremendous commitment he has received from shareholders, we have now secured his services as a permanent member of our stallion roster. Sir Prancealot will no longer shuttle out of the country;

instead, he will be available for inspection by breeders here at our farm year-round.”

Miss Amulet Purchased by Coolmore

Miss Amulet (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}), who won the G2 Sky Bet Lowther S. last out, has been privately purchased by Michael Tabor and fellow Coolmore partners, Racing Post reported on Tuesday. Previously owned by Colm Griffin, the grey also gained black-type with a win in the Listed Arqana Irish EBF Marwell S. earlier this season. Trained by Ken Condon, Miss Amulet is targetting the G1 Cheveley Park S. at Newmarket on Sept. 26.

“I can confirm that Miss Amulet has been sold outright to Michael Tabor and partners for an undisclosed figure,” Michael Donohoe of BBA Ireland, told Racing Post. “She remains in training with Ken Condon and the plan is to run her in the G1 Cheveley Park S.”

Bred by Ringfort Stud in Ireland and sold for €1,000 as a Goffs November foal, Miss Amulet was selected by Donohoe as a yearling for 7,143gns at the Tattersalls September Yearling Sale. Out of Shena’s Dream (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}), Miss Amulet’s extended family includes French highweight and GI Arlington Million hero Mill Native (Exclusive Native), MGSW and G1 French 2000 Guineas runner-up French Stress (Sham), French Group 3 winner Sporades (Vaguely Noble {Ire}) and GI Frank E. Kilroe Mile S. victor Willyconker (Ire) (Pyrus).

Added Condon, “She’s had a very good season and the plan remains the Cheveley Park, which we’re all looking forward to. Hopefully she’s as lucky for her new owners as she has been for her previous owner, who I know thought long and hard about selling her. He’s had a great journey with her and he wishes the new owners luck.”

Sir Prancealot’s Miss Amulet Prevails In the Lowther

Having beaten Frenetic (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) in the Listed Marwell S. over five furlongs at Naas Aug. 3, Miss Amulet (Ire) (Sir Prancealot {Ire}) was one of the main contenders for Thursday’s G2 Sky Bet Lowther S. at York and she lived up to the billing when holding off Sacred (GB) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) in a pulsating finale. Always prominent, the 15-2 shot was marginally ahead approaching the furlong pole before being joined by that 15-8 favourite soon after. Pulling out extra for James Doyle in the run to the line, the latest juvenile talent from the Ken Condon stable had a length to spare over that G2 Queen Mary S. runner-up at the line, with Umm Kulthum (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) 3 1/4 lengths behind in third.
