8: 0-0-1 $22,500
===================================
Trainer's Notes: Champion turf lines. May just be starting to come into her own.
Owner's Notes: Picked up as a brood prospect; traded Big Tail for her. Near-complete outcross to anything we have, save Sadlers Wells and the 4x Northern Dancer (mostly in Generation 4).
Bloodstock Manager: Family 8-h, Atalanta: includes Damascus (Belmont/Preakness), Bubbling Over (going blind at the time of his KY Derby win), Princess Ormonde and her descendants Dustwhirl, Ormonda, and Whirlaway (USTC), Conquistador Cielo (Belmont), and the Great Sire Havresac (II). Other CF relations include Fission Spot and Likable American, both 8-g (both 8-h and 8-g taproots are granddaughter to 8-c Taproot Woodbine; 8-d is also close as Atalanta's dam, Woodbine daughter Feronia, is taproot there).
Special Notes: She is pictured with the first official tricolore italiano, or Italian tricolour, which was adopted on 7 January 1797 for the hisrtoric Cispadane Republic. The flag was a horizontal square with red uppermost and, at the heart of the white fess, an emblem composed of a garland of laurel decorated with a trophy of arms and four arrows, representing the four provinces that formed the Republic.
I asked her breeder the origin of her name: "..dialect is a way of saying the Lombardy region. means: Face of bronze" I find this very cool.

Leading UK Sire by earnings, 1990, 1992-2002. Designated Chefs-de-race (C/S) Media notes: "Sadler's Wells won his seventh consecutive sires' championship (and eighth in all) in 1998 (by total money won, Great Britain & Ireland) - beating Alzao and Nashwan into second and third places - despite the fact that his 1998 3 yo crop was less than half the number produced in 1997. He also won the 2 yo sires' championship, stepping up from sixth place in 1997. He finished third in the maternal grandsires list, the area in which he has received most criticism in the past. He also won the sire's championship in France." |
