Madam Mali

​​​​
Tattersalls Ireland Yearling Sale 

Lot: 543

Purchase price - €22,000 gns 

​

​

This ‘intelligent’ and ‘athletic’ daughter of Pompey Ventures favourite stallion, Sands of Mali, was again purchased with Karl Burke’s head travelling lad Kieran Kourdache.

 

Her page jumped out at us, and put her straight to the top of our short list.  The dam produced 2 winners from 3 foals of racing age. 2 by Biraaj and one by Coulsty. For the dam to have produced horses to win races from poor stallions we felt that from an upgraded stallion such as Sands of Mali she could produce a much nicer horse & obviously given our success with Sands of Mali offspring last year, we were always going to be keen on her.  However when viewing her, we felt she also had an excellent physical to go alongside her page and that made her a must have for us. She looks a nice strong 2 year old who we would expect to be out over the sprint trips mid season.

We were equally delighted to only have to give €22,000 for her. This means she will qualify for Band D restricted races which is always a nice bonus!

 

The plan was originally to send her to Karl Burke, but after discovering last week that Karl was not going to be able to get started with her for at least a couple of months we made the easy decision to move her straight to Ollies, so she can begin her training immediately.  Ollie trained both our previous Sands of Mali winners,  so it seemed like the perfect outcome for her!  She has settled in well and Ollie is now getting started with her.

 

Last year we purchased one horse from this sale… Bob Mali, a PV legend, who won his first three consecutive starts for us and is also by Sands of Mali!

​​

"We hope she will further extend our two year old success with the stallion!"
