Suesa remains unbeaten in Prix Yacowlef
Former Darley Stud shuttler Night Of Thunder (Dubawi) was handed his 18th stakes winner on Tuesday when his daughter Suesa (2 f ex Sally Is The Boss by Orpen) retained her unbeaten record in the Prix Yacowlef (Listed, 1100m) at Chantilly.
Last seen breaking her maiden on debut at the same track, the two-year-old filly took the step into stakes company in her stride when defeating Total Knockout (Exosphere) by a decisive two lengths, while Night Hunting (Amarillo) was the same distance back in third.
Purchased by McKeever Bloodstock for €17,000 at the 2018 Goffs Ireland November Foal Sale, the filly it out of the unraced Orpen (Lure) mare Sally Is The Boss and she becomes the first stakes winner in two generations of her family.
The filly’s third dam is Canton Lightning (Rheingold) - the dam of Listed winner Chenille (Tenby), while this is also the same family as fellow Listed winner Nights Cross (Cape Cross).
The son Dubawi (Dubai Millennium) shuttled to Australia for one season and his southern hemisphere crop is headed by two stakes winners, including Group 2 winner Cherry Tortoni and Group 3 scorer A Beautiful Night.
Night Of Thunder now resides exclusively at Darley's Kildangan Stud in Ireland and he will stand the 2021 season at an increased fee of €75,000, having stood last season at a fee of €25,000.
