'A very smart looking filly' - first foal arrives for champion sprinter Shaquille
The first foal by Dullingham Park's champion sprinter Shaquille has arrived.
Winner of the Group 1 Commonwealth and July Cups when trained by Julie Camacho, Shaquille was well supported in his debut season, covering 158 mares including 20 stakes winners.
Bred by Sarah Jane Barker's Tibthorpe Stud, the bay filly is out of Sable Camp, a No Nay Never half-sister to Middle Park Stakes winner The Last Lion and Listed winners Contest and Russian Rock.
Sable Camp is in turn out of Mala Mala, a daughter of Brief Truce who was third in the Moyglare and Cheveley Park Stakes.
Barker said: "She's a very smart-looking bay filly, a nice size with a pretty head – very much in the mould of her sire and we couldn't be happier. She's a good-looking foal!"
Crowned Cartier champion sprinter after his exploits in 2023, Shaquille stood his debut season for £15,000 last year and remains unchanged this term.
