First Foal for Jacquinot

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday August 7

This time two years ago, quality colt Jacquinot was preparing for a glorious three year-old season that would bring him Group I victories in the ATC Golden Rose and MRC CF Orr Stakes and now the next stage of his career is unfolding for Widden Stud with the arrival of his first foals.

Covered on September 1 last year, well related O’Reilly mare Crystal Nights (NZ) has produced this lovely filly for Tom Kelly at Newhaven Park.

Jacquinot filly from Crystal Nights.

“Lovely quality filly and I’m thrilled with her, she is well marked with great hip and beautiful presence, and she is nice and correct,” said Tom Kelly.

“Jacquinot was an exceptional racetrack performer and if this filly is anything to go by breeders will be very pleased having supported him.”

Jacquinot covered 157 mares last spring and continues to let down into a magnificent stallion with his fee this year set at $27,500.
