First foal for Cambridge Stud's Chaldean

Media Release - Thursday August 21

The first Southern Hemisphere bred foal by Cambridge Stud stallion Chaldean (GB) has hit the ground with a filly foal out of the winning Burgundy mare Top Note born at Pencarrow Stud.

Chaldean (GB) filly from Top Note.

The bay filly was bred by Lachlan Fitt and Cameron Rodger and stems from the family of Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks winner Belle En Rouge.

“She’s out of a maiden mare but has a lot of quality about her,” stud manager Leon Casey said. “She’s got good leg under her and good rein and has a fair bit of class about her.”

Standing his second season at $35,000+GST, the royally-bred son of Frankel shuttles from Juddmonte Farms Banstead Manor Stud in the UK and will cover a limited book of 120 mares.
