New to Woodside Park Stud in 2023, Shalaa has already proven himself as a sire on the rise across his six seasons at stud across both hemispheres, producing 15 individual stakes winners including six black-type two-year-olds, much in the mould of himself.
A Great Britain and French Champion two-year-old after victories in the 2015 Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville and Group 1 Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket, legendary jockey Frankie Dettori described Shalaa as the fastest two-year-old he had ever ridden.
Shalaa was rated champion two-year-old in Great Britain and France subsequent to these victories.
Shalaa has already sired Group 1 winner No Speak Alexander who claimed the Leopardstown Matron Stakes while Seven Veils in Australia proved too good when winning the Group 2 Reisling Stakes.
Having also sired Magic Millions Classic winner Shaquero, Shalaa has proven himself to be a sire that can produce the early two-year-olds as well as horse who can produce Group 1 performances at three.
We are excited to have purchased Shalaa, adding him to our roster for 2023, and we can’t wait to see the smiles on our breeders after they foal down a magnificent type of their own.
A sire of 15 stakes winners, Shalaa has already achieved the ultimate success as a stallion, siring Group 1-winning three-year-old No Speak Alexander in Europe, while in Australia he proven himself as a stakes-producing two-year-old sire with winners including Shaquero, Seven Veils and Semilion.
No Speak Alexander showed her class when winning the Leapordstown Matron Stakes at Group 1 level, defeating Group 1 winner Pearls Galore and dual Group 1 winner Mother Earth.
Shaquero lit up a strong Magic Millions field in 2021, along with claiming another two juvenile stakes wins. Fellow two-year-old stakes winner Semillion was victorious on debut in the Inglis Banner at Moonee Valley before going on to win the Group 3 Kindergarten Stakes over The Championships at Randwick.
Seven Veils showed her class at just her second start, taking out the Group 2 Reisling Stakes, defeating subsequent stakes winner Dashing Legend.
Shalaa has sired 11 new stakes winners since March 2022, which have included three-year-old group winners Recommendation and Jennilala, and two-year-old black-type winners Chilled and Princess Duhallow.
By the sire of sires Invincible Spirit, Shalaa always had the pedigree to make it as a successful stallion.
Just like Australia’s champion sire I Am Invincible, Kingman, the sire of champion racehorse Palace Pier, and Lawman, a six-time Group 1-producing sire, Shalaa is another sire son of the champion that is Invincible Spirit.
I Am Invincible is the sire of 14 Group 1 winners which include sire sons Brazen Beau, Hellbent and Home Affairs, while Kingman is the sire of eight Group 1 winners which includes stallions Palace Pier and Persian King, while also recently siring Group 1 JJ Atkins winner King Colorado.
Shalaa is from a proven source of Group 1 stallions and given his proven source of stakes winners from just his first three racing crops, the best is still to come.
