100th Stakes-Winner for Lope de Vega

Tara Madgwick - Thursday September 1

Australian breeders have had good success with Lope de Vega and the champion son of Shamardal passed a milestone overnight siring his 100th stakes-winner at Longchamp and has two sons standing in Australia this spring.

Three year-old filly Manisha scored a short neck win in the Listed Prix de Liancourt (2100m) for the Andre Fabre stable breaking through for her first Black Type success after a last start second  in Group company.

Manisha is the first winner for Mahati, a dour winning half-sister by Montjeu to Group winning stayers Macleya and Montclair from German bred stakes-winner Minaccia.

Ballylinch Stud’s Lope de Vega shuttled to Australia at the start of his career for four seasons and left four Group I winning sprinters in Santa Ana Lane, Gytrash, Vega Magic and Vega One.

He is available to Australian breeders this spring to Southern Hemisphere time on a limited basis and also has two sons at stud here, both standing in Victoria.

Yulong offer his Group I winning son Lucky Vega (IRE) at a fee of $19,250 and Larneuk Stud stand his multiple Group I placed and Group II winner Endless Drama (IRE) at a fee of $8,800.
