Focus sui First Crop Sires 2020: SHALAA. Pedigree e prospettive

Nella foto Shalaa funziona in Francia per Al Shaqab.

In questa puntata analizziamo le caratteristiche di un first crop sire molto atteso sia per il futuro del mercato che nell'immediato presente.
Shalaa (Invincible Spirit) ha vinto a 2 anni il Prix Morny G1 e le Middle Park Stakes G1, e valutato come miglior two-year-old in Britain and France nel 2015.
Ma si tratta anche del cavallo con il rating più alto che abbia mai prodotto lo stallone Invincible Spirit. Dopo aver fallito il debutto arrivando ultima, ha rimediato ben presto consecutivamente 6 corse di cui 5 a 2 anni, emergendo nelle July Stakes G2 a Newmarket e le Richmond Stakes G2 a Goodwood prima di attraversare il canale della Manica per andare a battere i francesi nel Prix Morny G1 ed un mese dopo le Middle Park Stakes G1 con del buono in mano. Purtroppo la sfortuna lo ha frenato troppo presto, con una frattura alle ossa pelviche ed una lunga assenza di un anno. Al rientro subito una vittoria in G3 ad Ascot ed il tentativo velleitario nella finalona delle Sprint Stakes G1 nel Champions Day, fallito anche per una questione di condizione che non poteva essere rodatissima a livello agonistico.
Shalaa è molto atteso sul mercato. Si tratta innanzitutto di uno dei 18 vincitori al massimo livello per Invincible Spirit (Green Desert) mentre la mamma è una War Chant, dunque si nota un 3x3 su Danzig.
Da un tasso di monta di €27,500, Shalaa ha avuto grande richiesta sul mercato. 63 dei suoi figli hanno cambiato mano ad una stratosferica media di €120,000. I 31 che sono stati venduti a 6 cifre hanno il top in un maschio acquistato per €600,000 alle Arqana August Yearling Sale, si chiama Satono Castle ed è in training da Andre Fabre.
Roger Varian ha speso 350,000gns a Tattersalls per un suo figlio, un altro che si chiama Boomshalaa, ha fatto 240,000gns da foal. Insomma, grandi aspettative.
