The family
This gelding is from a fine family of winners of German origin.
Although none of the progeny of the dam (Miss Holly), have won to
date, as a racemare she performed at a creditable level. She won 4
races on the flat (2 wins for Mark Johnson, 2 for Declan
Carroll), as well as winning twice over hurdles for Sue Smith. She
was a tough sort, running 24 times over 5 seasons, being placed a
further 11 times.
The granddam Seraphim was also a winning dual purpose performer(4
wins from 23 races), and is the dam of 6 individual winners. The
best of her progeny were winning hurdler/chaser Autograph and the
Grade 1 winning hurdler Makari.
The 3rd dam - German bred Sassika - won 4 races and was Group 2 placed, and has been very successful in retirement, having bred 8 individual winners .
About the sire
Malinas (b h born 2001) was trained in Germany by Arc-winning trainer Peter Schiergen where he showed high class form at 3 and 4 years of age. He was very consistent, with best performances in winning a Group 2 race before running Shirocco to a close 2nd in the German Derby.
Retired to stud in 2008, Malinas stood initially for 3 seasons in France
at Haras de la Hetraie before locating to Yorton Farm in England
where he proved a popular sire to NH breeders for 4 seasons.
In 2016, he moved to to his current base at Glenview Stud, where he
stands alongside his Derby conqueror Shirocco.
His best progeny are the Harry Fry listed chase winner American, Grade 2 winning hurdler Medinas, and Grade 2 winning chaser Black Thunder. His stock are now increasingly sought after in the sales ring, and further success seems sure to follow.
